Pentagon Shooter and the Murder of Col. James Sabow
...According to today's Wall Street Journal:

JPatrickBedell wrote that he was "determined to see that justice is served" in the death of Marine Col. James Sabow, who was found dead in the backyard of his California home in 1991. The death was ruled a suicide but the case has long been the source of theories of a cover up. Sabow's family has maintained that he was murdered because he was about to expose covert military operations in Central America involving drug smuggling...

There are two links below to significant stories on Col. Sabow that were written by Salem-News.com reporter Robert O'Dowd, another former El Toro Marine, like myself.

We've been knee deep in the investigation of El Toro's severe environmental contamination for the better part of three years, and along the way, through Salem-News.com's John Uldrich, another former El Toro Marine, we were reintroduced to the story of Col. Sabow.

If you boil it all down, his death ranks among the most tragic military losses of all time, because along with him, we lost our honor as a country to a degree. Jim Sabow had been in the Marines almost 30 years, he was a highly decorated Vietnam War fighter pilot with 27 outstanding fitness reports. By all accounts, he was 'general material'.

But he got wind of something really bad happening at El Toro back in 1991. It was brought to his attention that shipments of drugs from South America were being funneled through the base as part of a weapons for drugs program that the federal government had outlawed in 1985, to aid Contra rebels.

Colonel Sabow knew that two of the base's top ranking officers were dirty, at least he suspected it. One had been investigated for drug running out of Panama earlier in his career. in the 1980's.

Jim Sabow was a Marine's Marine. He was on the record that he was going to end the drug running at El Toro. Suddenly he was facing charges that were purely trumped up, and that was on his mind the morning of January 22, 1991 when something happened, and the colonel ended up dead in his backyard, with a lawn chair on top of him, a shotgun nearby, and a whole bunch of injuries that most certainly led to his death, before the shotgun blast...

The death of Marine Colonel Jim Sabow according to his brother, Dr. David Sabow M.D. was murder. He has been in contact with numerous people over his brother's death, good people, and he has had the government try to do everything possible to end his quest for information. The DEA even tried to talns to take Dr. Sabow down, through a set up.

A patient of Dr. Sabow's had modified prescriptions in the past, and she had been caught. This was a problem with state law, but the woman says she was approached in 1996 by DEA agents who wanted her to help set Dr. Sabow up for over prescribing the woman's medication. The thing is, Dr. Sabow had zero to do with it, and the woman refused to entangle her doctor in the matter because it would have been a lie.

The woman refused, went straight to Dr. Sabow, and then filed an affidavit expressing what had happened with the DEA agents. We have the document. In fact we have material backing this story in numerous places, in different states.

2. Kicking for later
:popcorn:

The AP is claiming his family is saying he was mentally ill; been in and out of psychiatric care (manic depressive) for years. His psychiatrist said he was "self medicating" with pot.

The Wall St. Journal is an intriguing story on top of this.
