Sir, Working on getting the audio of the pre-text phone call. I will apprise everyone of updates as I get them. The government intends to call Lt Klay. The government does not see the relevance of Captain Benjamin Klay or Corporal Garrett Quinn. Respectfully, Captain Christopher M. Hoover, USMC Military Justice Officer MCB Quantico Work: (703) 784-0037 Cell: (603) 809-5781 -----Original Message----- From: Robert Bracknell [mailto:rbracknell@acus.org] Sent: Monday, May 23, 2011 8:56 To: Haytham Faraj; Hoover Capt Christopher M Cc: Mcconnell Maj Matthew N Subject: RE: U.S. v. Rowe; Article 32 defense delay request from May 18 to June 6 OK, thanks. The question about witnesses was directed more toward the government. Capt Hoover, can you comment on the availability of the *actual* audio of the pretext phone call, and when you can make it available to the defense? s/f, rgb Butch Bracknell Lieutenant Colonel of US Marines CMC Fellow, The Atlantic Council o 202-778-4979 c 757-287-4704 ________________________________________ From: Haytham Faraj [haytham@puckettfaraj.com] Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2011 11:56 AM To: Robert Bracknell; 'Hoover Capt Christopher M' Cc: 'Mcconnell Maj Matthew N' Subject: RE: U.S. v. Rowe; Article 32 defense delay request from May 18 to June 6 I am not sure where the witnesses are. I believe Cpl Quinn and the Agent are in the DC Metro area. The audio, I believe, is a critical piece of evidence for you to consider. We have a transcript but based on my reading of that transcript, I believe it will be beneficial to hear the tone, emotion and volume of the conversation. I have not heard it. I will do so as soon as I get a copy of the audio CD.

Rowe; Article 32 defense delay request from May 18 to June 6 Where are these witnesses, and does the government contest their relevance or that their testimony would be cumulative? Having not read the investiation yet, I'm at a disadvantage as to what these witnesses might testify. The second part of Mr. Faraj's email is a discovery request not necessarily germane to the 32, and beyond the power of the IO to require, unless the DC maintains that the actual audio (vice the transcript) is necessary to prepare adequately for the 32 (vice trial, if there is a trial). s/f, rgb Butch Bracknell Lieutenant Colonel of US Marines CMC Fellow, The Atlantic Council o 202-778-4979 c 757-287-4704 ________________________________________ From: Haytham [haytham@puckettfaraj.com] Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 9:59 PM To: Hoover Capt Christopher M Cc: Robert Bracknell; Mcconnell Maj Matthew N; Owsley SSgtJason L Subject: Re: U.S. v. Rowe; Article 32 defense delay request from May 18 to June 6 Capt Hoover, We'll get a witness request to you but I wanted to give you a warning order so that you can have plenty of time coordinating witnesses. We will also want Cpl Quinn and LT Klay's husband. I also request that the case Agent be produced.

If you provide me an address I can get SSgt Owsley to send you the entire report to include the transcript. I do not intend for you to consider the report for purposes of proof at the Art 32, only for the basis to make witness determinations. Lt Klay will be the primary witness at this Art 32. > Respectfully, > > Captain Christopher M.
