All the sources have dried up
If you’re looking for pieces on Jack Idema and his team, please click on this link.
It now appears as though it was the media and not Karzai who propagated the lies that there were men found “hanging in Idema’s basement” in Afghanistan.
NYT Reporter Carlotta Gall not only failed to report that there was no basement, but also failed to report that there was any credence to what Jalali and Mashal were saying. Gall also failed to report something she later admitted in a private conversation, that
“Mashal is the most unreliable source in Afghanistan. I never use him as a source because he always lies to me.”
In spite of this, Gall used him as a source, as did every other journalist because what he was saying was “too juicy and it sold newspapers,” according to other journalists.
Mashal has now been fired and is facing criminal charges for a wide range of illegal activities. He has currently fled Kabul and is believed to be hiding somewhere in Kandahar.
Jalali retained his US passport in conflict with Afghan law, and is alleged to still be an employee of the US government and on the US government payroll. Jalali was allowed to submit a voluntary resignation and return to America (Maryland) rather than be arrested.
At the time of their arrest, Idema had a multi-million dollar copyright and breach of contract lawsuit against FOX News, Sir Edward Artis a FOX News source, Army Colonel Robert C. Morris a FOX News consultant, and Joseph Cafasso a former FOX News Military Expert. Morris was indicted by a Texas Grand Jury for stealing government property and money from the US Army. Caffaso was outed as a fraud and has disappeared, as far as I know. Artis’s Knightbridge International is connected with a humanitarian organization alleged to be a front for a ring of child molesters and pedophiles, and I understand Knightsbridge International is under investigation right now for fraud.
These four men: Mashal, Artis, Morris, and Cafasso were the named and anonymous sources of almost every single article ever written in which Idema and company were accused of fraud and illegal activities.
Yep, those journalists sure know how to pick ‘em, and apparently, so does Soj. What have you got to say about the Colonel now, Soj? BTW, Jack says “holla”!

Self-defense becomes too necessary too often. Great Idema coverage over the last days. THANKS!

Dear Caos,
I have been following you on getting Jack’s story out. I didn’t want to jump in until I felt you wouldn’t buckle in on this and give into the intense and misguided scrutiny this travesty showers upon all who know that Jack is NOT guilty and take a stand. Now, you’re in.
I’ve been in this muck and fbi mud since July 14,2004, which is the day I found out the unthinkable. How could one of our military elite and patriot be in this situation? I knew Jack went over to Afghanistan after 9/11 and wanted only to see him do what Jack has the gift for…infiltrate and succeed in capturing the “Hitler” of our generation - Bin Ladin. Does anyone really wonder why our government doesn’t seem to really care about this anymore? I smell so many fish that half the time I think I might end up sleeping with them.
The bright side to this is that the truth really can set him free. I know Jack played an honest hand and got screwed. From Day one I knew his biggest bulletproof vest was John Tiffany. The man has pretty much sacrificed the better part of his life to see justice done in the face of very daunting adversaries. He could be living a very cushy life right now but is not. He is spending thousands of his man-hours (remember that atorneys charge BY the hour) and the financial support of just a handful of friends and family. This man, John Tiffany, is pretty much driven by integrity, loyalty, and persistence at this point. What he has and is sacrificing is also beyond comprehension. Try quitting your job for a year and hoping that you can spend all that time fighting for one thing you’ll probably never ever fight for as hard but you know is right. Then do it and try and keep some of your job too. Oh and don’t forget keeping your family safe and happy all the while having eyes in the back of your head. This is stuff heroes all the way around are made of.
Idema supporters! Help ME help Jack. Phone bills are staggering for his legal support. Phone cards might be cool. I don’t know what else would help. For me it was $12.00 per minute to Afghanistan last August.
I don’t think they will appreciate me saying all this but they would never. I am saying, “Call John Tiffany.” His # is on the superpatriots website.
I’m asking for us to watch each others back too. I have only two people I can call if I get anymore grief from Detroit’s CTU unit or the fbi. I’m a wife, mom, teacher and Jack supporter. It is a part of my life until he is free and innocence declared.
Jack is honest but will not give in when loyalt plays into the equation. Pitbull! It has been a long 15 months for us trying to help. I can’t imagine theirs.
All of us together might be a good boost for expediency.
Rita

Hello,
Does anyone know what the humanitarian organization that Sir Edward Artis is connected with accused of molestation and pedophilia is called?
We have all been tracking a medical organization that was under KBI’s 501c3 and it was guilty of many things, but child molestation and pedeophilia charges have not been made. Human trafficking for the purpose of adoption, terribly mishandled medical care and mafia tactics with host families, birth families and other organizations like hospitals, airlines etc is what they specialize in mostly.
In recent months the group seems to have disbanded, and the group seems to be disappearing from any radar.
Now that I have read all the stuff on Jack and Sir Eddipoo (as we call him), it is easy to see why things are no longer up and running.
Your response would be very helpful.
