Courthouse News<\/a> reports that Frank Ford, supposedly an Iraq War veteran is suing the Army because they drugged him and tortured him because he threatened to blow the whistle on them for all of the illegal activities he witnessed in Iraq. For example he found weapons of mass destruction that had shipping labels from the US. He found $40 million and turned it over to his chain of command, but when he went to get money to pay a confidential informant, they told him the money was gone and he’d have to pay out of his own pocket.<\/p>\n

Of course, Ford witnessed torture and prisoner abuse at Abu Gahraib. Hasn’t everyone. Things got ugly when he filed for whistleblower protection;<\/p>\n

“On June 21, 2003 plaintiff Ford was, against his will, kidnapped, drugged and strapped to a stretcher. He was then flown out of Iraq to Germany without orders or being listed on the manifest. Ford was accompanied, under guard, by defendant Dr. Madera who was sent for the sole purpose of monitoring plaintiff Ford’s communications. Defendant Madera stated to Ford that ‘you have been kidnapped to shut you up because [defendant] LTC Ryan is terrified of what you have to say,” the complaint states.
\n Attorney Goodwin says his client has corroboration, in the form of a heavily redacted CID memo dated June 16, 2004, that Madera’s commanding officers forced her to ship Ford off to Germany.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been drugged and shipped out of a country because I couldn’t bear the burden of what I witnessed any longer.<\/p>\n

Attorney Jeffries acknowledged that his client faces an uphill battle in taking on the U.S. government, and the Army, especially since his story resurrects the depravity that took place at Abu Ghraib prison a decade ago.
\n “Everyone in the government is staying mum about it,” Goodwin said. “We’ve since found documents asked for under [the Freedom of Information Act]. They were lost, misfiled by the same CID officer who tried to cover up.”
\n Ford’s other FOIA requests have gone unanswered. “No response. Four filed, all outstanding,” Goodwin said.
\n Ford leads a quieter life these days, working for the California Department of Corrections at Folsom State Prison. He’s close to retirement. But Goodwin says that his client is afraid for his life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No FOIA means the government is hiding something, I’m sure that’s in the law books somewhere and it’s completely legitimate as evidence. I’m actually surprised that he didn’t try to accuse the government of covering up evidence of UFOs and Bigfoot while he was at it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
