Jcustis, I have a friend Pat Mahaney that spent 18 months with the IP Police commission in Iraq for the US State Dept. He is a retired Alabama State Trooper and Lawyer. I have been bugging him to join the council and join the discussion (he has some stories about the IP!!) but he is in private practice now and makes money hand over fist now as a DIU attorney so he doesn't have much time. But I will try him again and see if he will join. I am at work now but have some more comments about your posts on dealing the IP very shrewd observations on your part about police ops. Later.
