hey dude, the military is about to launch a counterattack against the story. total b.s., of course. they all have lost their jobs, the top pr guy duncan boothby resigned in shame because he fucked up, and now, a week later, they've finally started to grasp for straws. Might make for an interesting blog at huffpo tho if you were so inclined! I'm about to get on a 14 hour flight, so will be out of pocket.
