First off he is not "Forced" to do this.


Secondly you say this story is from "The Sunday Times" but you give a link to "The Australian". What is up with that?

Thirdly he is not a "criminal". He is a hero. He'll need all of that money to fight the lies and the smears.

He should be hung. Except I wouldn't want to see any extra "compassion" for the guy.

Hmmm?
If the gave me a chice---
- Write a book
OR

I could say - NOT for a million $ 

But I would cave in at 1.5 million $

He showed up US war crimes, twofaced doublecrosses and breaches of international law. He deserves a medal.

This is already taking a turn for the worst, so I'm locking it now before it gets out of hand.
