Michael-

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I was wondering if you'd heard anything regarding what appears to be rendition flights being conducted (or at least previously conducted) by Vision Airlines, Inc. out of Nevada (previously just Vision Air) in conjunction with Capital Airways and McNeil Technologies Inc. It's not necessarily involved in rendition flights, but do indeed convey intel personnel at the very least; one of its planes has been spotted landing in Romania, there are photos and other corroborating info. Just wanted to check and see if you've heard anything; you may be aware of the class action suit regarding hazard pay that's been sealed (perhaps forever) by the judge in question on the grounds that certain info is a matter of "national security" and unrelated to the payment matter. 

I've told the publisher to send you a copy; let me know if you want me to go ahead and send you the manuscript as a text file as well. Thanks for offering to blurb, that would be extraordinarily helpful. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

I also want to talk to you about Project PM and related matters; will get back to you at greater length on that as soon as the Wikileaks thing winds down a bit.

Thanks again,

Hi Barrett, thanks for the note, and the kind words in your post. Happy to help if I can, let me know what you're looking into. Feel free to email or call.  (Unrelated: I'm very interested in your new book, and if you could have your publisher send me a review copy that would be great--but I also give you my word I will buy a copy when it comes out, too! It's kind of a karmic policy of mine.)
 
best and thanks,
mh
