I withheld making these allegations until I could have the subject officer and other witnesses on the stand, under oath, to best evaluate the facts. I strongly recommend you review the transcripts from the 39a in the case of U.S. v. Wacker held on 22-24 February and 11 March 2011 and the judge’s findings on the UCI issue as they provide a more complete record of the facts. I could not provide them to you as I do not have them yet but have asked that they be produced. I bring these charges with a heavy heart because it is never comfortable to accuse an officer of wrongdoing. My reservations regarding these allegations is but further proof of the seriousness with which I take these charges and the facts underlying them in this case and in others that you probably have some awareness of based on coverage by the Marine Corps Times. I look forward to your response Respectfully, Haytham Faraj, Esq.
