RE: Sam Hamama



Good morning Sgt Maj,
If you recall I contacted you previously regarding testimony for Sam Hamama
who was a translator with your battalion during a deployment to Iraq.  The
trial has experienced several delays but it now looks like we finally have a
date set.  The trial is now scheduled for Jan 6, 2011. Please let me know
your availability during the month of January and provide me a good address
so we can coordinate your travel.  You will be getting served with a
subpoena a few weeks before trial.  I will coordinate with you to make sure
we minimize the amount of time you have to be away.  

Vr,

Haytham Faraj, Esq.

Subject: Sam Hamama

Gentlemen,

I got your names and contact emails from LTC Oliver.  I am an attorney and
retired Marine currently representing Issam Hamama in a case in Federal
Court.  Mr. Hamama has been accused by the U.S. Government of a conspiracy
to
pass information to agents of the Iraqi Government.  Mr. Hamama
categorically
denies ever doing so.  The U.S. Government’s sole evidence are questionable
Iraqi documents found following the invasion that refer to Issam Hamama as a
contact in the U.S.  Mr. Hamama did contact the Iraqi UN mission during the
period to set up humanitarian relief trips and transport supplies to Iraq
during the period of the UN sanctions.  These contacts are documented and
legitimate.  They were not hidden or secretive and were done under the
cognizance of an existing humanitarian relief organization.

 

We will be going to trial in Mid June.  I intend to offer evidence of Mr.
Hamama’s good character and his service while in Iraq in support of your
various units.  

 

Major Moore, I may also call upon your expertise and experience in Iraq to
inform the jury about the veracity of IIS documents and agents.

 

I request that you respond with your willingness to testify and briefly tell
me what you would say about his character, loyalty, trustworthiness,
fidelity, and commitment.  

 

I appreciate your cooperation and look forward to your responses.  Mr.
Hamama
is fighting for his liberty and reputation.  He is in dire need of your
assistance.

 

Very respectfully,

 

Haytham Faraj, Esq.

Major, USMC (Ret.)
