“There’ll be a lot of [annoyed] people if they find out it was a ruse,” said one staff sergeant.

Take it from someone with a long history of "ruining it for everyone else", annoyed is going to be damn far from what she'll be seeing from others.

Those three times I used company computers for looking at porn (actually two times, I hosted a porn site on my then employer's server) which led to a total block of internet access for everyone, I felt like a marked man.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.

the 600 Americans in Kyrgyzstan, including families of contractors working on the base, need to know if they’re at risk.

They are non-Mohammetans in a country run by Mohammetans and dominated by Mohammetans?

They ARE at risk!

Wow... I would have just fired you on the spot and there wouldn't have been any awkward unpleasantness afterwards. You must be a very good employee, otherwise.

"How very strange."



I think a lot of us called BS since we were told about the video tape from the store.

I'm curious what some of the more administrative type military people can tell us about the clues they get from the actions of the Air Force since she made her return.

"(actually two times, I hosted a porn site on my then employer's server)"

Thus the term "former" employer?

“What really happened?” Carpenter said. “You won’t really know until the U.S. government says, ‘Here’s what we believe happened.’ ”

Correction: “You won’t really know until the U.S. government says, ‘Here’s what we [want you to] believe happened.’ ”

Almost everything points to hoax, or mental breakdown.

"A U.S. Air Force officer who went missing for three days says someone stuffed an object in her jeans pocket with a note saying it was bomb and telling her to go to a site in Bishkek, where kidnappers grabbed her, Kyrgyz authorities said Saturday.

They said Maj. Jill Metzger reported feeling as if she were in a trance as she followed the instructions."



I haven't been able to find anything about follow up raids, or police, or military actions.

"I didn't know she had ben found"


She knocked on the door of a house about 3 days later, with bloody feet, looking roughed up, and wearing large mens clothing, she said she had overpowered her guard and escaped into the night.

"I'm writing this on Wednesday and the news black out is still on, not even a word about any military or police actions.
The rumors about an abortion are out there though."








The rumor is the same one from back then, and it may prove to be just a rumor, but man something is very strange about this case.

The abortion thing is purely rumor at this point, as I've tried to track it, it doesn't really have a solid source.

The claim in the rumor is that being a newly wed, she wanted to hide it etc.

It does seem like she could take leave to Germany or (somewhere), for a shopping trip or to visit a sick friend or something, to hide an abortion.

At this point I think it doesn't make sense to get off into the abortion idea, although it was OK to mention the rumor, I was hoping some Air Force people that know how the politics of this would work' would tell us what the two weeks of official silence means.
