Subject: From the Independent on Sunday - re Michael Hastings
To: barriticus@gmail.com



Dear Barrett,

I very much enjoyed your piece in defence of Michael Hastings, and agree with what you say. I am a journalist / editor here at the Independent on Sunday in London, and am trying to get hold of Michael, to ask if he would write for us about his scoop, and his feelings on the events of this week. You say he is in Kandahar, and that he an associate of yours. Are you able to pass on his email address or cellphone number? Apologies for disturbing you, and with many thanks in advance,

Matthew
