http://newstandardnews.net/content/?action=show_item&itemid=579The US Army needs to hear that the American public wants the truth about what happened to Sadiq Zoman. If the military does not already know the real story, it should immediately investigate, and it should cooperate with The NewStandard’s own investigation into the story.
You can help pressure the military. Call the following people and demand answers:
Major Joslyn Aberle, Assistant Public Affairs Officer of the 4th Infantry Division: 254-287-7013
Her boss, Lieutenant Colonel Bill McDonald: 254-287-7011
Colonel Campbell, who signed a paper releasing Sadiq Zoman to the hospital, already in his current, "vegetative" condition:
254-287-7280
If you think there is any chance your Congressional Representative or Senators might take a personal interest in this case and put pressure on the Pentagon to initiate an investigation, please ask them to do so.
Please also write to us and let us know what action you have taken and what kind of response you have received: iraq

While we at The NewStandard firmly believe it is the responsibility of the US military to compensate the Zoman family for Sadiq’s injuries and suffering, many of our readers have expressed the desire to personally provide for the Zoman family. The National Grassroots Peace Network in Alaska has set up a fund to help the family of Sadiq Zoman and asked us to help promote it. The NewStandard is not involved in the funds collection, and the Zoman family is not aware that a collection is being taken. All money collected through this fund drive, minus the amount required to wire it to Baghdad, will be delivered directly to the Zoman family.
