WaPo Request for Contributor Bios
A very courteous, reasonable and understanding request from the Posts's discussion editor, Chris.
Your "no" or non-answer would be very reasonable, too. But if any of you choose to reply, please do so here and post in the reply the bio you'd like for him to use when he doctors up the record. We will never release member's info, totally your call.
Very good discussion today, guys, thanks again for your time.
One caveat -- I didn't really think through Bill's request to post responses to questions from the Small Wars Council. Our policy generally is that all of our guests should be clearly identified for our readers. It's one way we distinguish ourselves from other Internet forums.
I was wondering if it might be possible for us to get names and pertinent occupational info (basically Bill's bio graph) for the Small Wars Council members whose responses were posted. I understand if this is not possible -- I know that anonymity is in some cases used because of professional repercussions -- but we'd definitely appreciate it ift hey'd go "on the record" so to speak so that we could stick to our standards.
None of this, of course, is intended to denigrate their contributions to the discussion, which I certainly found valuable.
This is the list of screen names that were posted: selil, Steve Blair, marct, wm, kehenry1, stan, J Wolfsberger, slapout9.
Again, I understand if this is not doable.
Thanks again,
Chris
For your ref, our two bios were:
.Dilegge is a retired U.S. Marine Corps Reserve intelligence and counterintelligence officer and an urban operations consultant for the USMC at Quantico, Va. He is a 1st Marine Division veteran of Desert Storm and, as a government civilian official, received the Colonel Donald Cook Award in 1999 as the Marine Corps's top intelligence professional.
Nagle is a Marine reservist and a defense contractor
Geez--I would have paid closer attention if I'd known this was an opportunity for more shameless self-promotion!
But, sorry I wasn't more active. This was my first day back at work since August and I felt like the Godfather: someone was plopped in my office all day. As soon as one left, another one came in.

Most agreed to be identified by name. Their brief bios of named posters follow. The only remaining anonymous was removed...
Thanks !
