I actually thought Byron Morris from Rock Island was ill charge of doing th..rt, I know his credentials and lhey arc certainly no that.

Great hearing [rom you, T clidn't know that you crossed paths will' Rokke over there.
I don't have personal knowledge of what Rokke did with the DU vehicle recovery team so I don't comment 011 it to the media except to say that he wasn't in charge of it, that clVilians were,
Ifyou write up your ObscrvatiollS about his actual activities there, I will be happy to use them in my future "letters to the editor" and attribute them to an eyewitness.
-:"The man in charlatan"who is·making a living out of spreadingmistmths.and a..c.cusations abollt our / Country worldwide and spreading misapprehensions about DU ~Ullong our fighting men and women who··
alTe3dy have p1cnt~ of real hazards to worry about. I know for certain that he deliberately misrepresents his military and scientific credentials from his interviews that appear on web.
His actions are lUJpalriOlic, violate scienlific and military elhics, and, in my mind, arc conduct unbecoming an officer. I don't like it and I will do my best to info,rm responsible press about him. I couldn't do this all active duty, but I sure call now'
Hope you don't mind that Talso am sending this to RADSAFE.
