Did they say where they got that information. I have not seen that reported anywhere else (yet, anyhow). I have read that he is a Major but no source for that was given.

btw, which was the Reserve Public Affairs Officer? The officer who reported the incidents or his commander to whom he reported the incidents and who informed the British commander who filed the report?

Nope.

That wasn't clear, just that the guy had clashed repeatedly with the Col.

I will give the Colonel the benefit of the doubt, this all seems like an onslaught from an anti-war leftist trying to discredit a successful operation with shades of "MaiLai massacre"-esqe claims.

Also, I must say I read the Colonel's speech on the eve of war, positively brilliant, echos of the Saint Crispin's Day speech in Henry V with shades of Patton and Churchill.

I was watching John Gibbs and he was talking to a UK officer about it. Is that what you are referring to? Of course, he was quite upset.

I honestly don't remember when it was, but someone definitely said the American Officer who had had many confrontations with the Col. was a Reserve Civil Afairs Ossifer.

Where did you read that this happened?

If you look at my post, I'm replying to comment number 18, which is replying to comment 16, which contains the information.

No one else said it was the US officer that went public with the information. For all we know, it was leaked. I heard a British officer complaining about it on FOX, not a US public affairs officer.
