It appears that LTC Allen West (now retired from the Army) is currently serving in Kandahar, Afghanistan training Afghan Army officers in a civilian capacity. According to this link, there is some speculation he may challenge Congressman Ron Klein for Floridas 22nd District congressional seat in 2008.

Did you realize his attorney was Neal Puckett, the same defense atty for SSGT Frank Wuterich in the Haditha case? Sounds like Frank is in good hands with Mr. Puckett.
Do you know if it went to a hearing? I’m guessing retirement was part of an agreement?
