#1 CNN has this:

Idema said a four-star Pentagon official called Heather Anderson "applauded our efforts" and wanted to place the group "under contract" -- an offer they refused. But there are no four-star female officers in the entire U.S. military. The name Heather Anderson is not listed in the Pentagon phone book.

#2 I'm all for a little extra-territorial posse comitatus versus the taliban action. But what were these guys really up to?

#3 Did he mean "Heather Locklear" or "Pamela Anderson" instead?

#5 Here I am in t-shirt and shorts, wondering, what the hell are these guys doing to make a buck!

You could lay carpet, sell cars, develope porn sites, think of the posibilities. But these guys go to Afganistan and hook up with bands of madness. Man I'm confused!

#6 Hero, loose cannon? Strictly a relentless self promoting wanna be. He (finally) overstepped enough that he could be grounded for a long time. (though being in prison for wire fraud seemed to have taught him nothing).

#8 It's common knowledge that when you're busted,those you depend on most leave you high and dry. Legally, there's nothing the govt. can do. Our patriots should've went out in a blaze of glory.

#9 It's a shame to see a real Amaerican hero let hung out to dry. The war on "terror" is a dirty war, and it has to be fought by Americans who are willing to "take off the gloves" (as our President said)and risk everything. The 82nd airborne is not going to cature Osama (they have to many constraints). We should all be fighting to free this patriot from military beurocracy and an Afgani "kangaroo court"
