    subject Conduct Unbecoming An Officer? Or Forgery?

    Dear sir:

    You may be aware of the recent email interchange between Col. Steven Boylan (an aide to Gen. David Petraeus, commander of US Forces in Iraq), and Salon columnist Glenn Greenwald.

    Reviewing this correspondence you may conclude there are but two possibilities: a) Col. Boylan violated the UCMJ article outlining conduct unbecoming an officer by writing an unsolicited, ungrammatical, incoherent and highly politicized email to Mr. Greenwald, or b) someone in Col. Boylan’s office or elsewhere forged it.

    Either way, there's a crime here, and you ought to begin an investigation forthwith. You might review the matter here:

    I've been an American taxpayer for a very long time and, as you doubtless know, the military is subordinate to civilians. In other words you, sir, have a moral and legal obligation to let me know what you intend to do about this issue.
