you're familiar with two years ago i asked secretary hagel to institute a hostage policy review, i asked him to appoint a hostage point person for dod, it ended up going mike lumpkin who is now asd solic and secretary agel did that, the white house instituted a hostage policy review. all of this came about because things were brought to my attention by a lieutenant colonel a approximate marie special forces sold earlier, fought in afghanistan, was working in a section of dod working in hostage policy and hostage recovery for dod. he is now being investigated. he's being basically drummed out of the army. you would not have a hostage policy review unless secretary agel started it on my own without my request. i would not have requested it you would not have had a hostage point person in mike lumpkin is not for lieutenant colonel amarie.
