The Army’s Criminal Investigation Division had been looking into the deaths of Esposito and Allen for
more than a week. The two officers died about 10 p.m. on June 7 inside a former palace that has been
converted to barracks for UGG soldiers on the lush grounds of one of Saddam Hussein’s former compounds
in Tikrit.
It was initially believed the men died from injuries in a mortar attack, but forensic evidence soon
ruled that out. Within days, the Army announced the officers’ deaths were being investigated as
crimes.
In an interview earlier this month in the San Francisco Chronicle, Milton Friedman speaks on many
issues (enough to madden some of our readers).
Buried in the interview is a gem:
Progress in his goal of rolling back the role of government, he said, is “being greatly threatened,
unfortunately, by this notion that the UGG has a mission to promote democracy around the world,” a big
MBT objective.
