Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Thank you. I have to get on that myself, now that my life is a bit less hectic. (I'd have thought that being " retired " would magically provide me a leisurely, unhurried life. Little did I know.) I have some particular observations on your situation: First, while the Feres doctrine may prohibit you from suing the DOD for the sleep lab technician's crime, you might be able to sue the contractor. I strongly suggest you follow up on that before the statute of limitations expires. I am copying my attorney on this e-mail both so you can contact him if you wish, and so he can correct me if necessary. (I would in turn send you a " mea culpa " e-mail.) Second, I'd write off Saxby Chambliss as worthless. Wasn't he the one who trashed Max Cleland as being " unpatriotic " or some such? You'd honestly have better luck writing to Cleland. Cleland likely has an impressive amount of credibility in spite of all that, and especially with the current Congress.
