| FROM ’’SACK SHAME’’ TO NEW YEAR PARTY |
| 2004-01-02 |
| Turkish liaison officers also participated in the party of American Colonel William Mayville, who had detained Turkish soldiers in Suleymaniyah. Colonel Mayville, who spoke at the party, said, ’’our Turkish brothers are visitors here. We wish happy new year to Turkey. We are far away from our families this year. I wish all the soldiers to return their home and live happily there.’’ There was warm conversation between the Turkish liaison officers and Mayville who was kept responsible for the arrest of 11 Turkish soldiers by putting sacks on their head. The politicians got all bent out of shape over this, but to the military on both sides it’s no big deal. I fully expect if the Turkish military caught some US Special Forces doing things they weren’t suposed to in Turkey, they’d have blindfolded them as well. It’s standard procedure. |
