Mark,
I believe he lives Michigan.
Not sure but could find out. Yes, also G.Gordon Liddy show would be good
to name. Jim Hansen was not to be on that show; basically this is what
happened:
1) I went after General McChrystal
2) His PAO, LTC Tad Sholtis, worked up a posse which I believe (but without
proof) included Hansen. I did get that one email that I sent to you.
3) Hansen came on G.Gordon Liddy show saying all sorts of untrue things.
I've forgotten what, but it would be in their archives
4) I got on the show a week or so later to refute. Producer asked if it
were okay to bring Hansen on with me. I said no. Show
started. They brought Hansen and others on in a sneak attack.
Hansen then went off about OPSEC violations and so forth. Completely over
the line.
G.Gordon Liddy described Hansen as some some of national security expert.
In fact, he's pretty dense, as you can see. I believe he spent 16-years
in the Army, some or most of which was Special Forces and so, somehow, that
makes him master of national defense on G.Gordon Liddy show.

Mark,
Thank you for getting back to me.
One of the most popular milbloggers is a guy named Jim Hansen, aka "Uncle
Jimbo" at the Blackfive website. He hits a national audience at
times on radio and television.
Some months back, he said on the G. Gordon Liddy show that I was:
1) Disembedded from US forces for OPSEC violations (untrue)
2) Disembedded from UK
forces for OPSEC violations (untrue)
3) Disembedded from Canadian forces for OPSEC violations (untrue; I'd never
even embedded with Canadian forces.)
This was damaging to me.
He's retired military as an E-8, so probably does not have big dollars.
He does (or should) have steady income from military pension. He's about
46-years-old and full of venom.
He's been very deceptive with his audience, playing as if he has huge amounts
of Special Forces experience. Plays like an expert on Iraq and Afghanistan, but has never stepped
foot in either country. Completely deceptive. And so when he turned
his venom to me, he continued being deceptive and stepped far over the line.
To wit: http://www.blackfive.net/main/2011/01/behind-the-uncle-jimbo-in-combat-series.html#comment-6a00d8341bfadb53ef0148c7e2cde6970c
What do you think?

Mark,
Am very interested in suing someone for defamation. All is
demonstrable. However, don't think I need a super-charged attorney like
you (with supercharged prices); can you recommend someone who you think can do
the job?
