The man behind the scathing report about Abu Gharib.

1. NPR had a great story on him over the weekend

I believe he is the highest ranking Phillipino ever in the US Army.

9. A most inspiring story. Another quality production from NPR. (nt).

He didn't play along with the lie.

Taguba played by Lou Diamond Phillips

Possible for this movie to be aired prior to Nov 2004???

Producers - how about it?

3. Two Stars with No Combat

No Jump Wings, No Ranger Tab.

Must be one hell of an officer - no sarcasm here - to continue to advance.

10. Airborne/Ranger/Etc important for Combat Arms - but not Combat Support

But it is interesting that he never at least went to Airborne school.

4. Unfortunately, because he is honest and won't hide the war crimes

he'll never get far in government.

Its a shame it works like that

7. Born in the Phillipines

his family moved to Hawaii when he was 10. I'd be willing to bet he may have experienced some of the redneck attitude present in some of the military types. Unfortunately, he may have already been sidelined for the trouble his report generated. I cannot remember the details but one article indicated he'd been "reassigned."

6. He is my hero.

You know he's taking flack from the other generals for getting their "boys club" in a heck of a lot of trouble. I wish I had an address for him so I could send a letter of support.

8. send the letter C/O senator and representatives

They need to know who to thank.
