Re: Citizen Complaint of Wrongdoing by Federal Officers

Dear Mr. Meese:

I am writing to you to register my complaints about certain actions that have
been carried out against me and my associates.  I believe these actions
constitute violations of our civil rights as well as violations of the
criminal law in some instances.  These actions are all the more reprehensible
in that they are politically motivated.  I take this means to request that you
investigate these matters and, where appropriate, reprimand the individuals
involved and file criminal charges.

Let me explain my situation to you.  I am a veteran of the United States Army.
I served with the Special Forces in the Vietnam War for more than two years
between 1964 and 1970.  I consider myself to be a patriot and am proud of my
service to this country.  Since the end of the Vietnam War, I have been
actively involved in seeking to locate and free American POW's and MIA's left
behind in Southeast Asia.  I have been associated in these activities with Lt.
Col. James "Bo" Gritz and others, including Scott Weekly.  I believe our
efforts have been carried out with the tacit ) if not always, overt ) approval
of certain elements within our government.  These government and military
officials share our goal of freeing these forgotten Americans.

In the fall of 1986 Col. Gritz and Mr. Weekly went to Burma.  They had 
received intelligence from the "Basement of the White House", which led them 
to believe certain Burmese had information about American POW's.  These leads
proved to be unfounded.  However, on that trip Col Gritz learned about illegal
furg trafficking directed by U.S. government)related operatives.  These drup
dealing activities were on such a scale that they were used to fund covert,
para)military operations in Southeast Asia and in other parts of the world.

In May of 1987 I went to Burma with Col. Gritz and others.  We brought back 
startling evidence directly linking American officials with illegal drug 
trafficking.  A report on this Burma trip is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."

Over the years it has baffled me why the U.S. Government would not actively 
and vigorously pursue the release of our POW's and MIA's.  Now, the answer is 
clear.  Any renewed American activity in Southeast Asia, on a scale necessary
to the release of the abandoned POW's and MIA's, would attract unwanted
attention to covert activities in the are.  Government)sponsored drug
trafficking is an explosive subject.  Obviously, many government elements want
the story left untold.

Scott Weekly was charged with illegal transportation of explosives.  He was 
made promises by ATF Agent Thomas Hahn which induced him to plead guilty to 
the charges.  It is, of course, highly improper for law enforcement officials
to make promises, especially false promises, to criminal defendants to
persuade them to plead to criminal charges.  This was done in Mr. Weekly's
case.  Pages were extracted from his pre)sentence report which would, very
likely have mitigated his sentence.  This action would have to have been known
about and approved by the Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Korotash.  In
Montana, Mr. Korotash's activities would have violated the Canons of
Professional Ethics, which hold:

``"a public prosecutor or other government lawyer in criminal litigation shall 
make timely disclosure to counsel for the defendant, or to the defendant if he 
has no counsel, of the existence of evidence, known to the prosecutor or other 
government lawyer, that tends to negate the guilt of the accused, mitigate the
degree of the offense, or reduce the punishment." DR 7*103(b)^E^

``"A lawyer shall not suppress any evidence that he or his client has a legal 
obligation to reveal or produce." DR 7)109(A)^E^

I believe Agent Hahn and Attorney Korotash conspired to violate \Mr. Weekly's
rights by persuading him not to retain effective counsel and to plead guilty.

Thereafter, Col. Gritz was charged with a passport violation and has 
registered his own complaint, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 
"B." Col. Gritz recently informed me that U.S.  government representatives
offered him government employment and dismissal of the charges against him if
he would cease activities relative to the POW's and stay out of Southeast
Asia.  In other words, if Col. Gritz would shut up and cease his activities in
Southeast Asia everything would be all right ) for him.  As usual no thought
was given to the POW's and MIA's nor their families and loved ones.

Following my return from Burma on June 1, 1987, Col. Gritz was charged.  I set 
out to investigate facts relative to the passport violation charge as well as
the Scott Weekly situation.  During the course of my short investigation there 
were several incidents which took place that were certainly blatant violations 
of my rights as a U.S. citizen.  Itt is my opinion that the reason these 
violations took place is because I had in my possession\j\reports, documents 
and tapes which accuse and support accusations that U.S. Government officials 
deal in drugs and certain government employees have lied and obstructed 
justice in order to convict perfectly innocent persons of criminal 
wrongdoings.

I believe they have been motivated by a desire to silence myself and my 
associates to keep the lid on the drug trafficking evidence we have uncovered.  
Short of that, they seek to discredit us and the information we've obtained.

I traveled to Seattle, Washington, on June 27, 1987, to interview a U.S. 
Customs Agent named James Foley.  Mr. Foley's telephone number is (206)
442)1974.  His address is 1580 South 156th Street, Seattle.

I spoke with Inspector Foley and told him I needed to locate the customs agent 
who passed Col. Gritz used, which was stamped at SEA)TAC Airport by Agent 
1099.  Attached hereto as Exhibit "C" is a copy of the passport.  I told him
that Col. Gritz had had several passports with him and the agent had taken him
to an interrogation room.  There he told Col. Gritz he hoped he had a
telephone number they could call.  Col. Gritz gave them a number and one of
the customs men left.  Returning a few minutes later, he said "Okay Col.
Gritz, you're free to go".  Inspector Foley told me he may know hwo the
customs agent was that finally cleared Col. Gritz through.  He said that the
number stamped in the passport may or may not mean anything but he may
possibly recognize the handwriting.

The next day, June 27th, I contacted Inspector Foley at his home.  He told me 
he had spoken with another Inspector named Arthur Henning.  He said he had
asked Henning if he could remmeber an incident about five years ago when a
Green Beret Colonel came through customs with several passports.  Inspector
Foley told me Inspector Henning immediately told him, "James `Bo` Gritz."
Henning said he remembered the incident because of the publicity Col. Gritz
received on the POW issue shortly thereafter.  Henning said he had taken Col.
Gritz to an interview room along with another customs agent, John Hood.  Col.
Gritz had given them a telephone number whihc Henning said was to the State
Department.  Henning told Foley he handled the incident.  He said Agent Hood
may have written down the telephone number Gritz had given them a telephone
number which Henning said was to the State Department.  Henning told Foley he
handled the incident.  He said Agent Hood may have written down the telephone
number Gritz gave them in his notes and could still possibly have it.  He told
Foley the call to the State Department would have been made by a supervisor,
possibly Lynne Robson, who is now dead.  Henning told Foley he remembered Col. 
Gritz was carrying at least three passports.  He, also, said there would be a 
"Negative Search Report" on the incident.  I sought this information because 
we had been led by U.S. Attorney Wulfson that this type evidence should have 
been sufficient to result in the dismissal of the charges against Col.  Gritz 
regarding the fraudulent passport.  After receiving this\j\information from 
me, Col. Gritz's attorney, Lamond Mills, contacted Wulfson.  Wulfson told 
Mills he had already talked to Customs Inspector Henning about the incident, 
but that he wasn't dropping any charges, despite what he had said earlier.

About that same time I was contacted by an investigative reporter named Tony
Kimerey from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  Kimerey told me he was in the office of
the Assistant U.S. Attorney, Stephen Korotash.  Jerry Bohnen, a KTOK news
reporter, was there too.  Kimerey can be reached at telephone number (404)
525)6780.  Jerry Bohnen can be reached at (405) 840)1948.  Also present in the
office was Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms Agent Tom Hahn.  Kimerey said that ATF
Agent Tom Hahn told him, in the presence of Korotash and Bohnen, that he
(Hahn) had removed 9 pages from the documents that went before Federal Judge
Alley, before the sentencing of Scott Weekly.  The pages that Hahn removed
were letters from several different Government agencies corroborating the
story that Scott Weekly was involved in the Afghan traiing program which was
sanctioned by the U.S. Government.  If it were so, that the program was
sanctioned by the government, then no laws would have been broken in shipping
the C)4 by commercial air carrier.  Kimerey also said that a U.S. Government
investigator, who has done investigations for the U.S. Attorney's Office in
Oklahoma City, told him he could not understand why ATF Agent Hahn and U.S.
Attorney Korotash were being so malicious in prosecuting and railroading Scott
Weekly.

On July 18th, I traveled to Vancouver, British Columbia to find a man named
Ahmad Rashid and his wife, Margaret.  Ahmad was Scott Weekly and Col. Gritz's
government contact in the Afghan training program.  A meeting with Ahmad,
Scott Weekly and Col. Gritz was set up in August 1986 by William Bode, then
Special Assistant to the Under Secretary of State for Security Assistance.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Korotash and ATF Agent Hahn have been saying all along
that there was no Afghan traiing.  They claim Weekly and Col. Gritz were
selling explosives ot the Iranians.  This is utterly ridiculous.  I had
thought at one time that maybe they really didn't know about the Afghan
training.  Maybe they were being lied to by persons in the government.  But
now I find that Agent Hahn has been in contact with William Bode since the
early days, even before Weekly was arrested in December of 1986.  Hahn was
given a training schedule of the Afghan training by William Bode.  Bode
admitted this to Col. Gritz.

Upon my arrival in Vancouver, British Columbia, I contacted Margaret Rashid, 
wife of Ahmad.  Margaret had assisted her husband in the briefing of Col. 
Gritz and Scott Weekly.  Margaret and Ahmad were to have given Gritz and 
Weekly all of their knowledge on the Mujahadeen Afghan Freedom Fighters so 
that they could use this knowledge in training several different factions of 
Mujahadeen in hopes of unifying them.  I was lucky to have reached Margaret 
when I did because she was getting ready to leave Vancouver within a few days 
to join her husband in\j\Montreal.  Ahmad was in Montreal looking for a place 
for them to live.

Margaret and I talked about her role in giving the information to Weekly and 
Gritz about the Mujahadeen in August of 1986.  Margaret told me that she and 
Ahmad were in constant contact with William Bode.  She said that Bode was 
their U.S. Government contact.  As a matter of fact Bode was the one that gave 
her and Ahmad the money to move to Montreal.  This evidence would provce that 
this was a government)sponsored program.  That being the case, Weekly should 
not have been convicted of the crime he was charged with.  Bode and his 
associates were trying to get the Rashids out of Vancouver before Col. Gritz 
or anyone tried to contact them.  Margaret said she also knew of Gritz and 
Weekly's problem.  She knew Weekly was in jail but she did not exactly know 
why.  She said she had a three way telephone conversation with Bode and 
another man from the U.S. Government some time ago.  The man from the U.S. 
Government was the one who suggested they move to Montreal away from 
Vancouver.  He was also the one who suggested that Bode give them the money to 
move on so that we could not find them.  Margaret could not remember the name
of the U.S. Government official they had the conversation with, but I found
out later it was ATF Agent Tom Hahn.

William Bode had called Col. Gritz about the same time I was visiting 
MArgaret.  He had no idea I had been talking to her.  He told Col. Gritz he 
had just heard of Weekly`s being in jail.  He told Col. Gritz he was no longer
working in Afghan studies or in the State Department.  He told Gritz that he
hadn't been there since last February.  He said that if someone had contacted
him before he would have at least given ATF a copy of the Afghan training
schedule to prove Weekly was working under the auspices of the Government.

A few days later, when Bode had found out I had talked to Margaret Rashid, he 
again called Col. Gritz.  He asked Col. Gritz who Lance Trimmer was.  He told
Col. Gritz he had tried helping all he could. He said he had given Agent Hahn
a copy of the training schedule.  In the prior converstaion he had said he may
have given him a copy.  He also stated then that ATF Agent Hahn was the third
person on the three way telephone conversation with him and the Rashids.

The above information are all lies told by Government employees ATF Agent Hahn 
and Assistant U.S. Attorney Korotash have lied from the beginning and they
continue to lie.  My attorney in Oklahoma City, Frank Miskovski, who is a very
prominent attorney in that area, told me that he has not once talked to ATF
Agent Hahn that Hahn had not lied to him.

Hahn admitted to two reporters that he omitted several pages of documents to 
be presented to a U.S. Federal Judge in recommending a long jail term for 
Scott Weekly.  This was a clear violation of Weekly's rights.  Hahn was 
instrumental in trying to hide\j\witnesses that could prove Scott Weekly's 
innocence.  Those witnesses could have proven that Weekly was involved in a 
legitimate, U.S. Governemnt)approved, training program of Mujahadeen Afghan 
Freedom Fighters.  It seems very clear to me that Assistant U.S. Attorney 
Korotash was also involved in the hiding of these documents.

I have continuously tried to determine why ATF Agent Hahn and U.S. Attorney 
Korotash would want so badly to put Col. Gritz and Scott Weekly in jail.  The 
only conclusion that I have is that some persons or people higher up in the 
Government are pressuring them to muzzle Col. Gritz.  Col. Gritz is a proven 
American hero, whose only goal in life is to bring home American Prisoners of 
War left behind in Southeast Asia after the Vietnam War.  The government wants 
to stop him from giving to the Americna people documents and evidence that
show U.S. Government officials are now, and have been, dealing in drugs.

These are acts of governmental agents involving the obstruction of justice and 
illegal suppression of evidence, which would show the charges against both 
Weekly and Gritz to be ill)founded.

Now, let me address the acts which have carried out against me.

I was arrested at the U.S./Canadian Point of Entry, Blaine, Washinton, on 
August 13, 1987, by U.S. Customs officials.  I was arrested on a warrant,
issued out of the federal district court of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  There
were no charges.  I was wanted as a material witness to testify before the
grand jury in Oklahoma.

Immediately following my arrest, I was searched and placed in a holding cell.  
I was told by a Customs Agent that they were going to look in my car.  Much 
later, three agents came to my cell.  One of them, who appeared to be in
charge, introduced himself as Jim Williams.  He read me my rights and asked me
a couple of questions.  I would not answer his questions but told him I was
sure he had read a report that was in my bag that would answer all the
questions he had.  He insinuated that what he had read was interesting.  One
of the agents with him asked me if I had a number that he could call.  What he
meant was, he wanted to know if I was working for some government agency.  I
told him I had none.  I don't believe he would have asked that had he not read
papers in my briefcase.  I was then chained up with leg irons, belts and
handcuffs and taken to Whatcom County Jail where I was booked in,
finger)printed and mugged.  I was told that ATF Agents would pick me up in the
morning and take me before a magistrate in Seattle.

The next day two ATF Agents, Norm Prins and Jane Heffner, picked me up for 
transfer to the Seattle U.S. Marshall's Office.  Agent Prins handcuffed me 
with my hands behind my back, put me in leg irons and escorted me to his 
vehicle for the 1 1/2 hour drive to Seattle.  He told me he had two of my bags 
in their trunk.  He also said that he had been to the Canadian Border where 
they had picked up my bags from Customs.  I asked where the other two were and 
was told he knew nothing about them.  Obviously, they had searched my car and 
seized and searched my personal property.

On the way in Agent Prins said he'd like me to answer some personal questions 
he had.  He said they had nothing to do with my case because he knew nothing 
about it.  He said his questions had to do with POW's.  If he knew nothing
about my case, he would not have known to ask me about POW's.  I assume he had
read the papers in my briefcase and clothes bag.  We talked about POW's and
also about my Burma Report.

When we arrived at the U.S. Marshall's Office, where I had to appear before
the Magistrate, my hands and arms were asleep from having to sit handcuffed
with my arms behind my back.  The marks and bruises were still on my hands
from the cuffs four days later.  Agent Prins got my two bags out of the trunk
of his car.  I noticed the center section of my clothes bag was still zipped
open.  I never was allowed to look in my bags.  They said they had brought
them to turn over to the U.S. Marshall's Office, but the Marshall's Office
refused to accept them.  They obviously argued over them for some time until
the ATF agents said they would take them and hold them in their office.  I
asked again about my briefcase and clothes bag but was told that Customs had
kept them.  I asked why and was told that they were "doing something" with
them.  I asked what, and was told just "something, but I shouldn't worry about
it." I said abviously they are making copies of my diary and reports.  They
said they didn't know but admitted it was possible.

Before appearing before the Magistrate one of the U.S. Marshalls called the 
Customs Agent Williams and asked about my briefcase and camera case.  I could 
not hear what Agent Williams was saying but when he hung up the Marshall told 
me that Williams would have my bags sent to whatever address I wanted.  I told 
him I wanted my bags brought to me because they also contained my credit cards
and identification which the agents had kept when they took my wallet, also I
told them they had no reason to keep them.  The Marshall then told me they
were "doing something with them." When I asked "what," he said he had no idea.

I was then taken to the Magistrate where I was admitted to a $10,000 bail.  I 
told them I could make bail immediately if I could make a phone call.  This 
was approximately 4:30 p.m.  The Marshalls then took me from the courtroom
back up the elevator to their office.  When we passed a phone I asked if I
could make that call.  They said I could when I got to the office.  When we
reached the office, they had me go into their little holding room and then
fooled around preparing this and that.  I asked again about a call and was
told, "in a minute." It was obvious they were stalling for time since it was
close to 5:00 p.m.  When I was finally allowed to call it was too late for
anything to be done.  This meant I was stuck in jail for the weekend.\j\

I was then allowed to call Custons Agent Williams.  I asked him about my 
briefcase and camera bag.  He said he would send them somewhere for me.  I 
told him I had to have them in my hands.  I needed my identification and 
credit cards to bail out of jail.  He said there was no way to get them to me 
now that the weekend was there.  I told him someone could surely drop them at 
the ATF Office with my other bags.  He said they couldn't do that until 
Monday.  I asked if it was going to take that long to make copies of my 
personal diary and papers.  He said they weren't doing that.  I said what 
about the phone numbers.  He said we are just "doing something" with the bag.  
I said I would like them right away.  He said it was impossible and I would 
get them on Monday or maybe Tuesday.  They would be through with them then.  
He stated he would not be there

personally himself next week but someone else would handle it.  That was the 
best he could do.  I was then taken to Kent, Washington, to the Kent 
Corrections Center.  I was taken there in handcuffs and chains.  I was
fingerprinted and mugged for the third time.

While in the Kent Corrections Center I made four written requests.  The first 
one was made on August 15.  I requested they return my briefcase and personal 
belongings being held by Customs immediately.  This included my credit cards
and other identification.  I was told they could do nothing.  They said I must
contact the agency that had them, although those agencies wouldn't accept a
collect call.  I wrote another request on August 16 and was told the same
thing.  Copies of all four requests are attached as Exhibit "D." On August 17
they would not answer my request and on August 18 I was not allowed to make a
phone call.  They did finally tell me that a U.S. Marshall had brought my
identification cards from Customs on that day after I had told them I would
not leave the jail without my identification even if I was bailed out, because
it was clear they could arrest me for vagrancy.

While in the jail there were two phone calls I made which were very important 
regarding my bail.  On one occasion, I was right at the point of learning a 
phone number that I needed to call to have bail brought immediately, when the
conversation was cut off by whoever was monitoring the call.  Several persons
called the jail with messages for me, with regard to bailing me out, but the
messages were never given to me.  Finally on Tuesday afternoon, August 18, I
was allowed to bail out on a $10,000 cash bond.  The attorney who was
instrumental in bailing me out had to drive me to the Canadian Border at
Blaine, Washington, which was more than 125 miles away in order for me to get
my briefcase and camera bag.

All of the contents in those bags obviously had been removed.  My notes and 
papers were thrown back in completely out of order and it looked as though 
several typewritten notes were missing.  The Customs Agent, Joe Rydell, stated
that I either had to sign an inventory list they had made up or he would not 
return my belongings.  There was no way I could tell if every piece of paper 
was there.  I was never given an inventory list of what they took from me.  
They kept my personal diary, papers, pictures, and identifications cards, 
including credit cards, for six days and refused to return them.  They told me 
they were "doing something" with them.  It was clearly an illegal search and 
seizure.  I was only arrested as a material witness.  I have been a law 
enforcement officer and understand what the term "probable cause" means.  
There was no probable cause to seize my property and search it.  There was no 
reason to treat me like a criminal.  I can understand being jailed on a 
warrant.  I cannot understand being handcuffed, chained, mugged and 
fingerprinted on numerous occasions, being denied access to my property, and 
being denied the opportunity to arrange bail.  All of this was a serious 
violation of my civil rights.

After I finally got released on bail I had to travel more that 200 miles to 
retrieve my personal belongings.  They forced me to personally go out of the 
way which took another day.  It was then too late to travel to my home in 
Montana.  I had to go to California to secure my automobile and then travel to 
Oklahoma City where I was to appear before a Grand Jury on the Subpoena the 
government had issued me upon my arrival.  I called the U.S.  Attorney's 
Office and checked in as I was supposed to do.  The man that I talked to about
transportation to Oklahoma City told me that I should pay my own way and turn
in a voucher on the day I appeared before the Grand Jury.  I then left for
Oklahoma City.  I needed to find a lawyer for my appearance.

When I appeared at the U.S. Attorney's Office with my attorney, Frank 
Miskovski in Oklahoma City, we were met by ATF Agent Tom Hahn.  Tom Hahn
stated that U.S. Attorney Korotash was out of town.  I asked if he was also on
vacation and Hahn replied he didn't know.  He told me Korotash was out of town
and could not be reached.  Hahn said he had been trying to contact me for the
past ten days.  I called him a liar.  He said he was not lying. I told him I
called in twice to the U.S. Attorney's Office.  Hahn stated that I only called
in once.  I told him I called on Monday August 24 and checked in with a woman
secretary.  I also called in on August 26 and told a male I would be coming to
Oklahoma City and wanted to know about travel arrangements.  Hahn said he only
heard of one time I called.  He said that he had called my attorney several
times in Washington.  I called Mike Jordan, my attorney in Washington, on
August 30 from Oklahoma City.  He told me that Hahn had called him on Friday
trying to contact me to tell me they postponed the Grand Jury Hearing.

On September 1st, the day of my scheduled appearance, Hahn gave me a new 
subpoena for September 14.  I asked if my bail would now be returned.  He said 
he didn't see why not.  He would check.  I waited for some time before Hahn 
returned and told my attorney that they were going to hold my cash bail of 
$10,000 until I appeared on September 14.

I left to make a phone call and then returned with my attorney and asked for
Agent Hahn.  I was told he was no longer around.  My attorney asked to speak
with the U.S. Attorney Price.  He was not around.  This was at 11:30 a.m.  We
asked to speak with any U.S. Attorney who could make a decision.  We were
taken to a Chief U.S. Attorney whom I told I wanted my bail returned or to be
put back in jail.  I told him the bail I received was promised to be sent back
to the person it came from on September 1 and I had appeared as promised.
This U.S. Attorney called Agent Hahn who, just a few minutes earlier, could
not be found, and had Hahn come to his office.  He told Hahn I was there to be
put in jail so my bail would be returned.  

Hahn immediately made many calls.  A long time later he came out ant told my 
attorney that they would either return my bail and place me in jail, return my 
bail and release me on my own recognizance or schedule the hearing in the 
morning.  He was to call my attorney at his office.  Later in the afternoon, 
my attorney contacted me about 4:30 p.m. and said that Hahn was obviously a 
habitual liar.  He had finally talked to Hahn after 4:00 p.m. and Hahn told 
him he called 4 or 5 times but couldn't reach him.  My attorney's secretary 
said that Hahn had called once.  My attorney was not in and Hahn did not call 
back.  My attorney called Hahn back twice but could not find him.  He finally 
reached Hahn about 4:10 p.m. and Hahn told him they reset the Grand Jury 
Hearing for the following morning, September 2.  I appeared at 9;00 a.m. on 
September 2nd before the Grand Jury.  I talked about U.S. Officials dealing in
drugs., about General Khun Sa of Burma, about a statement I made of a
complaint being filed regarding charges oif wrongdoing by AFT Agent Hahn.
Halfway through the U>S> Attorney's questions, they stopped the hearing and
tol;d me there would be no more questions.  It was approximately 11:00 a.m.  I
was told that I was free to go and would have to return on Oct. 5.  I believe
that is less than coincidental that Col. Gritz passport violation case is
scheduled for trial in Las Vegas, Nevada, on the very same date.

My attorney and I asked that my bail be returned along with my passport.  AFT 
Agent Hahn said he saw no problem with that.  He said he would clear it with 
U.S. Attorney Blair Watson.  We waited about 45 minutes.  Hahn came later and 
said he would have it taken care of after lunch.  My Attorney called him after 
lunch but, as usual, he was not around then.  He talked to the U.S.  Attorney 
Watson who said he didn't know about the bail and it would have to stay 
whereever it was.  He believed it was being held in Washington State where it 
was posted.  My attorney called the U.S. Attorney`s office in Seattle, 
Waashington and was tiold it had been sent to Oklahoma.  My attorney talked 
with the U.S.  Attorney in Seattle later and was told Hahn had told them that 
because it took so long for them to find me he didn't think they should 
release my bail.  There was never andy agreement to release my bail until 
Sept. 14th.  At this writing I still don't have it back.  Since recovering my 
property I have discovered that several items are missing, including typed 
notes and a tape\j\of conversations with Margaret Rashid and Tony Kimerey.  I 
spent more than ten years of my life serving my country as a soldier.  I 
risked my life in combat in support of our government.  I worked as a court 
officer a police officer and as an investigator for a prperiod of 15 years.  I 
have a college degree in criminal justice.  I believe in our system and have 
proven my commitment by my service.  I cannot tolerate nor abide the 
perversion and subvertion of our system, especially by those)like me)who have 
taken an oath to defend it.

This complaint deals with high)level government policy makers who have 
sacrificed our POW'S and MIA's, and alot more, to cover)up illigal and 
reprehensible drug trafficking activies.  It deals with federal Justice 
Department officials who have lied, silenced witnesses, discredited genuine 
patriots and heroes, obstructed justice and used their power to harass and 
intimidate honorable citizens.  I've heard of the alleged illigal drug 
trafficking, supported by the CIA, in Central America.  Until my recent 
experience I wouldn't have believed it.  You are the top law enforcement 
officer in the United States.  You have a duty to investigate, vigorously, the
charges raised in this complaint.  Today is the 200 anniversary of our
constitution.  The greatest threat to that sacred document is being mounted
today by the lairs, obstructors of justice and other slime who believe the
ends justify the means and "plausible deniability" is a defensible standard of
conduct in an open, democratic system.  The people and activites, complained
of herein, threatenour very system of laws.  Do yourself proud.  Deal with
these complaints vigorously.. The issue of illegal drug trafficking is now
before the publis.

When it becomes apparent to the public that our POW's and MIA's have been 
abandoned and our youth have been exposed to drugs to protect such an 
activity, the wrath of the people will be incredible.  It no longer works to
try to hide this activity, too many know of it.  The tactics that have been
used to produce the silence of people like me oon this issue, are
unjustifiable.  Restore my faith in my government.  Do your duty, as I have
sought to do mine.  And as those POW's and MIA's abandoned in Southeast Asia,
have done theirs.  

Sincerely,

   THE SILENT WAR

   We are engaged in a silent war.  Those waging this brutal conflict have
   not the decency to inform their victims ))) who include ourselves and
   almost everyone we know.  Their standard bearers include George Bush and
   David Rockefeller.  As the high priced professional liars in the mass
   media assure us all is well, the common people of the world are being
   crushed ))) like foot soldiers over run by a panzer division.

   And yet, the only real power of these perpetrators derives only from this
   force fed ignorance.  Apart from the power to keep us fighting each
   other, the Monopolists have no power.  If a critical mass of people can
   learn the information contained herein, and what is more important, the
   sources of this information, a global reign of terror will end.
