The Mail Bag

Jack and his guys have gotten mail from supporters all over the world by APO, US Postal Mail, DHL, Airborne, and Federal Express.  US Mail is Free- unless your postmaster is illiterate.  If your mail gets returned (sorry) let their lawyers know, because the bureaucrats at DOS have a legal, ethical, and moral obligation to deliver it.
DO NOT PAY POSTAGE- Mailing is Free by Law

Update: July 11, 2005- In December 2004 US Consul Russel Brown was ordered by Ambassador Khalilzad to return all mail sent to them.  We have been told by friendly military intelligence officers that Khalilzad ordered this as retaliation because their lawyers threatened, and then did, file a suit against Khalilzad (info on Khalilzad lawsuit).  Some mail has been returned.  If your mail gets returned,  we request your help by sending a copy of the returned envelope to their lawyer (John Tiffany).  If it is a box, then cut the top off with whatever Brown wrote and please mail it to their lawyer.  Most importantly, if you really want to help them, write a letter of complaint to your Senator and Congressman, and the Postmaster General stating that Ambassador Khalilzad is violating the Geneva Convention and refusing American prisoner's mail.  This is completely illegal.  We have been told that Russel Brown will be served with a special lawsuit shortly - For info: visit Jack's Docket.

This is Their NEW Contact Information:

United States Consul

United States Embassy – Afghanistan

6180 Kabul Place

Dulles, VA 20189-6180

DO NOT SEND MAIL TO THE AFGHAN POST OFFICE
This is a serious security risk since Taliban and al-Qaida terrorists have contacts in the local post office and actually work in the Afghan Post Office.  Additionally, ANYTHING of value will be stolen and never reach them.

A personal Note from Task Force Saber 7-

Care Packages:

We are grateful for the care packages that we have received from all over the United States.  Because food and resources are limited in Afghanistan (although the Pulacharke officers now go to GREAT lengths to feed us) many people have sent us tuna fish, spices, Ramen Noodles, Chicken Soup.  These things are greatly appreciated.  We cannot overemphasize our appreciation and thanks from the people that have sent us cards and packages. Many people have asked what we are allowed to get here. We can receive just about anything.  Just put it in a box and ship it to us.  No explosives please....

If you would like to know what we could use:

• Spices (great for prison rice)

• Ramen Noodles

• Chicken Noodle Soup

• Old Magazines and Newspapers
  (we get no news)

• Old DVDs (Yes we have a DVD player)

• Old Videotapes (Yes we have a VCR)

• Basically, we appreciate anything

• PS: MANY THANKS to Rita from Fort Bragg/ Fayetteville who sent us more than 50 Beanie Baby Bears in March 2005.  They were wrapped and each officer got at least two for their daughters. They ALL send their Thanks!

The Officers at Pulacharke Prison could also use some
things (they only get paid about $40 per month).  Used,
new, old, or any condition, all is appreciated:

• Socks, Gloves (no matter how old or used)

• US military thermal wear or Long underwear

• PR-24 Batons (for all you police out there)

• BDU Belts, any sizes

• Used bulletproof vests

• Desert Boots/Black Boots (even used ones are great)

• Pots and pans, old utensils

• Women's clothing for their wives

• Children's clothing (same deal as above)

• Children's toys and stuffed animals, even used and old

You can send it all care of Jack to General Zorodin and it will be delivered to Pulacharke and put to good use by our American allies.  Contrary to weblog lies, Jack has brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars in aid for the people of Afghanistan.  All paid for by Jack, or donated by his family and friends, but he has NEVER accepted a single dime of donations in cash, check, or any currency; only clothes, books, military gear, and medical supplies- all for the Afghans that fought the Taliban and al-Qaida.

Thanks,
TASK FORCE SABER/7

Here are some more letters to the SuperPatriots.  This is what people really think, in spite of the crap that the papers
and "reporters" are putting out:

8.20.04

Dear Mr. Idema,

I hope this letter finds its way to you.  My name is Penny  & I’ve been following your story for a very long time now.  I’ve seen numerous pieces about you on MSNBC, Fox, CBS, etc.  I’ve read all the postings & articles on American & Arab websites, as well.  But what really stands out in my mind was when I saw you on Imus a while back.  No matter what your reasons or methods are – you get it.  You see the big picture of all the bullshit that is happening both there & in the states.  It seems to me people have forgotten what happened 9.11.01 ––   but I can’t, for many days afterwards, I worked at a triage at ground zero.  It started as a search and rescue but very quickly turned into a search and recover.  Everyone had known from day one there would be no survivors, but it was never said out loud.  The whole time, I just kept looking around me and what I saw was what I always imagined hell would be like.  That was also when I stopped having “gray” opinions and to see the world just in black and white.  Time and time again, you have proved to be a true American hero, in every sense of the word.  What is happening now to you and your friends is so horrible and completely unfair.  You have shown nothing but courage and patriotism in your actions.  

You’ve been fearless and relentless and courageous in your actions.  The last thing they should be doing to you is charging you with any wrongdoings.  This country and that country should be giving you medals.  I hope to God, everything turns out well for you and this mess just goes away.  We in America need people like you, so we can feel secure and sleep at night.  Some day I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and say thank you in person. 

God speed –––

A Personal Message from TF SABER 7:

Well, as we explained on the About Us Page, we are living pretty well now, all things considered.  It is one of the most infamous prisons in the world, where more than 20,000 people were executed by the Russians, and God knows how many by the Taliban.  But the fact is, that our friends here, the officers that know what really went down in our case, treat us pretty darn good.  Sure, there are lots of things we don't have, and lots of things we wish we had, but all in all, we turned the tables on our enemies, and did it with no small help from our Northern Alliance friends, the men who were loyal to America against al-Qaida and the Taliban, and remain loyal to America and us.

Back at the FBI-NDS Saderat facility that is used to "legally" torture anyone and everyone they choose to, we were not allowed any contact with each other, family, friends, or the outside world.  We were tortured, beaten unmercifully, chained, burned, some of us electrocuted for days, and starved with just two cups of rice and a piece of bread each day. Now, at Pulacharke Prison, they place few restrictions on us and help us as best they can. 

Pulacharke Prison is one of the most infamous prisons in the world.  The Russians killed 20,000 people here, and the Taliban probably killed at least that many although no one knows.  It is surrounded by mountains and deserts and multiple walls.  In the past 100,000 prisoners were housed here.  It is not a place you want to be.  But for us, we have little to complain about; the officers here treat us well.  Pulacharke is called impenetrable, but as they teach you in Special Forces SERE School, nothing really is.

One last thing that is really important--  Our families and others sent information, pictures, and money to Flogging the Simian because they thought it would help us.  You should ALL KNOW that the Floggin site was actually being used as a front to con people into sending them information that could then be sent to people like Ed Artis and Chris Thompson, who were already being sued for a variety of crimes, such as stealing money destined for charitable purposes, and stealing money from the widows and orphans of Special Forces soldiers killed in Afghanistan (in the case of Chris Thompson).  You can check out the backgrounds of these people in the legal section and in the press section regarding sources.  Please, if anyone has emails, or letters, or anything else regarding Floggin the Simian, please send it to us.  We will be serving them with a federal lawsuit in the very near future and could use any help we can get regarding evidence and information.  You can send it to us, or to our lawyers, at the addresses to the left.

These people use a variety of cover addresses, email forwarding accounts, and other means to conceal their identities, so anything that will help us link them to specific acts will be extremely helpful.

Thanks Again.  Sorry for the ranting and raving, but you know how things get when you're in the world's most infamous prison surrounded by 500 al-Qaida terrorists trying to kill you 24 hours a day.  Actually, you probably don't.  Well, try to imagine.

Courage Forward,
TASK FORCE SABER/7

Here are some of the letters the SuperPatriots have been receiving from family and friends.  Since weblogs seem to getting copies from the Embassy and illegally posting the mail, we figured we'd post a few legally:

1.24.05

Dear [Jack],

As you can see here, some of my mail is apparently not getting to you.  I’ve used at least 4 different addresses hoping at least some would filter through.  So now I wonder where all the other letters and packages I sent have gone to. 

I was hoping by now, you and your friends would be released.  Heard about the riot and was relieved to know you’re all safe.  Luck or kismet, has kept me in the loop.  Which helps.  I can’t believe how you continue to endure this ordeal.  The word hero is used too loosely in a lot of instances, but this word truly exemplifies you.  I know it doesn’t look like much, but I really believe this little pin brought me luck when I was working at ground zero.  If nothing else, unlike a lot of others, I haven’t been experiencing the aftereffects from the toxic air, so who knows… Anyhow please keep this pin and know there are Americans like myself, who will keep the faith. [Note: she enclosed a 9/11 World Trade Center Pin given to the cops, fireman, and rescuers].

Hello son [Brent],

I heard there has been a delay again.  How are you doing?  Did you get the package yet?  I sent it through the address that xxxxx gave me.  He’s a very nice man.  We have been sending out more letters requesting a Congressional Hearing on the conduct and involvement of the FBI, CIA, etc.  A lot of things are changing in our government right now and in Afghanistan also.  I get so frustrated when I receive a reply like “we’re monitoring the situation.”  I ran across a website last month where they used real newspaper articles about the 3 of you but people could log on and change them and add things to try and make them funny.  I read the last few paragraphs and got pissed off.  So I bet you know what I did next!  I added onto their story telling them that while they (the website)  and the other readers were making fun of this situation, 3 Americans were left in prison in Afghanistan after trying to make the world we live in a little safer and that they and their readers needed to grow up.  Signed by me along with my email for anyone who may feel the need to reply…”

Stay well, Love Mom
P.S. say hi to Eddie and Jack

February 11, 2005

Dear Ed,

Just wanted you to know we are all thinking about you guys.  Do any of these journalists writing these articles realize that it could happen to any one of us?  Just think about it, you're embedded with the Marines or a Ranger patrol in Iraq and next thing you know you're all captured and they're charging YOU with war crimes against Iraq (think the 1991 war and the first months of the last war- when Saddam could be conducting the trial.   I guess all our fellow "tv people" in NY forgot about covering 9/11 and losing friends.  Anyway, hate to ramble, you get the picture.  Hey, I'm enclosing some stuff for you, figure food isn't easy to find, hope you like the Beef Jerky and the Cheese Nips.

Hey, one last thing, every network reporter I talk to says you have balls of steel- what journalist ever survived through some shit like this before?

Stay tough, and I can't wait to see your film,
Mark X -New York, New York

Dear B [Brent],

I hope this letter will get to you and find you in good health (mentally and physically).  Happy belated birthday.  When you get home we will have a big party!!!  I hope you know how much we love and support you.  We may have a small family, but we love each other very much and support each other (no matter what) we are survivors!  I have been wanting to tell you, we are very proud of you.  I haven’t forgotten September 11th (like some people) or the reason you went to Afghanistan.  You are very brave and strong……. Never forget that…

…I have read all kinds of articles about your situation.  I wish we could talk about this.  You know your mom, aunt xxxx and I are really involved with getting you home and not a day goes by we aren’t talking about you and how to make this happen…  Please remember how much we love you B and never give up! 

Freedom endures. 
We love you,
X - California, USA

Dear Brent,

…It is hard for us in our back-water mountains to understand the world today.  I envy those who are so sure of everything!  If there is anything I can send you, to make your life a little more tolerable, please let me know.  I am not a real religious person, but I’ve sure been doing a lot of praying lately… My son just retired after two tours over there, and my nephew is about to retire.

I believe you all are doing the right thing, but the price is incredible –––

You are in our thoughts.
CJ - Northern California, USA

10/1/04

Hello son,

How are you all doing?  Mr. Tiffany said that you had been moved to some place safer after the attempt on Ed’s life [at NDS].  In the last few months I have talked to a lot of people all over the U.S. and the world.  I know deep inside that this is all going to work out, even if I have to become a pain in everyone’s ass.  I hope these letters and cards get to you.  I also don’t want to say too much in case these are censored…

Be safe – I love you
Mom
 

December 3, 2004 (received April 12, 2005)

Jack,

My Christmas wish is that none of you get these packages, because you are home.  I don't go a night without praying for your perseverance.  If we don;' see you home by Christmas, we will keep trying like crazy...  the fight will continue for your release. 

Rita J  Paw Paw, Michigan

Note From Task Force Saber 7:
WOW- Just got 3 Christmas packages from Rita in Paw Paw, Michigan- Unbelievable, three boxes of great stuff, Gummy Bears, Slim Jims, Chocolate Chip Granola Bars, Dinty Moore Beef Stew, blankets and gloves -- we passed the gloves and Cartoon Clay on to the children of officers here.  Interestingly enough, Rita sent the box on December 3, 2004, and we got it on April 12, 2004 - it was sent directly to Afghanistan and the mailing costs were $130, so remember, you can mail or UPS ground to the Dulles, VA, address above and it only takes three weeks (this one took a long time because the US Consul had banned our Christmas mail in and out and finally decided to deliver it, but only after we sued Khalilzad in a NY Federal Court).
