Again, I found your op-ed in today’s Chronicle thought-provoking and radical – just the kind of thinking we need to avoid a military debacle (which is pending, if I know my field at all).  I’ve attached one in return, a piece that is nothing more than an amalgamation of my last three Chronicle geopolitical pieces.

I hope you'll find the piece of interest, and I very much look forward to receiving the materials you said you had for me.  I believe your background as a combat Marine officer and a former citizen of Greece will give you the perspective that most of our fellow citizens lack.  It was most enjoyable talking with you.  Sometime I'll have to try out a bit of Classical Greek with you – I took my degree in Classics from the University of Houston Honors College before I returned to Army Intelligence (and later public affairs).

To summarize what we spoke about, I believe a Constitutional abuse of the highest rank is in motion, and as we lose ground in Iraq, Congress will begin to draw up articles of impeachment against the commander in chief, and will investigate the collaboration of the media who betrayed the public by lying to it.  Call me a pagan, but I believe that there is a special place in Hades for such as they.  (I know that Dante invented one in the Inferno!)

My next email will contain the material we discussed.  I think that your interest will only grow, and I beg any observations or assistance that you might offer.

Regards, Captain Eric May

The attached document is comprised of four op-eds. The first two have been published, the second two still pending until the political situation allows for their publication.  I think that it will be the best editorial/op-ed page you've read in a while.  I sent it to Harry and Dr. Buzz last week, and they've been passing it around in their academic communities.  The letter is to my best friend and best man, Chase Untermeyer.  Chase was the Asst. Sec. of the Navy under Reagan/Bush and has encouraged my investigation into the media/military misinformation matrix (apologies for all alliteration). I've sent the package as a press release, a little ruse that I used to get dozens of media contacts.  Regards (and again, good op-ed in the Chronicle).  I think I'll have to buy your book!

Captain May

PS:  The book is The Color Of Oil, the History, the Money and the Politics of the World’s Biggest Business.  I’m looking forward to being edified, Doc.
