The following message was issued behind closed doors by the Department of Army (DA).  It pertains to media coverage of the MEDEVAC debacle.  There is no foul in monitoring the articles, but the inside glimpse is interesting.

Howard Altman, Tampa Tribune, is doing a story about one local woman's interest in the MEDEVAC issue and how it got her connected with Michael Yon, also a Florida resident. MRD OIL Team provided context and quotes as available in current

RTQs. Referred questions on the reporter's questions on catastrophic injuries to MEDCOM.

  Howard Altman is one of the few journalists who seem to treat the military fairly in his writings. I'm looking forward to seeing what his article says and have already emailed him to see if I can get a heads up on when the article will be released.
