Larry,

As a Peer of Col Westhusing when he arrived in Iraq, I am amused at the theories surrounding Ted’s death.

I am the one that took the picture of Ted with the Iraqi boy on the roof of a facility in East Baghdad pictured on your site. I worked with Ted in his position with CPATT. We were responsible for setting up facilities, training, etc for the Iraqi Security forces. He had responsibility for the Police forces.

Unfortunately for the theory, I firmly believe Ted killed himself. He was tired, overworked, distraught at his treatment - particularly from his Boss (MG Fil)… It was a trying time and his death is sad, but not the work of the contractors in country in my opinion.

I have written more in my blog on the matter.

I just learned of this yesterday while attempting to locate my old friend. Ted Westhusing was my company XO when I commanded a parachute infantry company in Italy and Ft. Bragg in the mid-80’s. He was #2 in his West Point class, but as down to earth a guy as you’ll ever meet. My wife and I attended his wedding to Michelle at the Main Post Chapel at Bragg. We stayed in touch until I retired 5 years ago, but I knew he was heading to WP as a permanent professor. There is no more career progression for guys who follow this path (they make full colonel, but are not in the competitive category for progression to flag ranks), and the only reason Ted found himself in Iraq is that he volunteered to go. The Ted I knew and loved as a brother in arms would not have put a pistol to his head. If it was, indeed, suicide, then Ted had changed dramatically from the man I knew all these years. Rest in peace brother. He was the best of the best.

Also, concerning Colonel Westhusing, he didn’t teach poetry or writing, he was a military strategist with an ethical mind who taught philosophy and ethics and the responsibility of the civility of war and how it could possibly be managed in the face of war’s most corruptive and merciless moments. Doesn’t anyone respect the code of honor, even in the face of war? or have we completely lost a sense of ourselves, our morality as Americans and what we used to represent. Col. Ted was all that.

by the way, Petraues hand picked Colonel Westhusing for this most critical position and Gen. Petraues was a West Point graduate.

In the case of Colonel Westhusing, who died with 3-4 weeks to go before he came home from Iraq, who could expose these corruptions/violations - with his credibility as a leading ethics professor at West Point and as an Honor Board Leader there as well to the American people and the media in a open forum? With his direct connections to the Army elite, Fil and Petraues who he worked directly with and whom he confronted with these allegations. And USIS as well. Then you add in the politics and Bush’s promotions of both these two men. You tell me…….you think they would have let him come home with his credibility?

Bada Bing….

Col. Westhusing was wacked. The only question, for me, was it a free lance hit, or “legit hit” ordered by the bosses of the kleptocracy.

Everything there is being watched.

You may not be able to assertain who did exactly what, but the Army’s own paperwork will tell you who would have been within her presence at any given ‘o hundred hour…

the NSA can handle the rest.

By the way, there’s no statute on murder.

Sees yous wise guys in ‘09.

I wonder if anyone remembers the case of Juan Torres Jr., whose father believes he was murdered in Afghanistan after becoming aware of drug trafficking by US officers. Torres Jr. supposedly shot himself whilst in the shower; his father stated that a number of his son’s fellow soldiers contacted him confirming his suspicions.

(What I posted above made no sense.)

She was shot in the back of the head and they said it was because she was gay. She worked in finance and she said she ‘made some enemies’ by uncovering something, received death threats.
