Dear. Senator Kerry

Wake Up.
Someone who operates in the shadows, who is making a bundle of cash off of this war...
Someone doesn't want another Winter Soldier.
Black American SUVs, American uniforms, speaking English well enough to pass through three checkpoints, American identity cards, American-style M-4 rifles, stun grenades of a kind used only by American forces.
Someone killed Captain Brian Freeman... oddly, coincidentally, (yeah, right) of all the hundred thousand soldiers in Iraq... then kidnapped and killed three American soldiers.

What are three more spent? A mere bagatelle. To cover the silencing.

I recall when I heard that the El salvador option was being considered, that I figured it was already employed.
All of those drilled tortured corpses confirmed it.
SOA training.

Now they have taken Captain Brian Freeman out of the potential picture.

You, Winter Soldier, of all Senators should act now.

Your vaunted "powder is still dry". Will you ever use it, or are you just keeping it for a memento?

Quote from Senator Dodd:
About a month ago, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts and I were in the Middle East, and at sundown on an evening in Baghdad, as we landed in our helicopter in the Green Zone, a young man walked up to Senator Kerry and me. I could hardly see him. He was about 6 feet 2 inches, 6 feet 3 inches, a captain, and a West Point graduate. He talked to us about his concerns and what was going on in Iraq. This was back in the mid part of December before the Christmas holidays. His name was Brian Freeman.

The conversation did not last very long. It was not one of those long conversations. It may have lasted 15, 20 minutes, at best. I do not even have a clear picture in my mind of what he looked like because it was dark, as the conversation went on for 15 or 20 minutes. But it is one of those meetings all of us have had in our lives, where you do not forget a person, an individual. For whatever reason, he was compelling, he was sincere. He sought us out. He wanted us to know how he felt about what was happening in Iraq.

I mentioned him on 'Meet the Press' a few weeks later in talking about Iraq. I did not mention his name. I did not wish to put him in that position. But I talked about this young Army captain, a West Point graduate, whom I met. He apparently saw the program in Baghdad and e-mailed me, and we began this conversation between my office and himself over the last month or so, in which we talked about the surge, and he talked about the problems associated with it, the jobs he was being asked to do.

He said to me -- I am quoting him now --

"Senator, it's nuts over here. Soldiers are being asked to do work we're not trained to do. I'm doing work that the State Department people are far more prepared to do in fostering democracy, but they're not allowed to come off the bases because it's too dangerous here. It doesn't make any sense."

Captain Brian Freeman, a West Point graduate, was killed in Iraq last Saturday.

The reptiles who work in the shadows didn't need another Winter Soldier.
