Loose Change producer Korey Rowe confirms through mobile phone video (see video below) that he has now been released after his arrest yesterday-- which Rowe and many other believe was politically motivated.
Rowe extends his thanks to the 9/11 truth community and all others involved in making phone calls, writing stories and otherwise pressuring his release from military custody after he was hauled in on accusations of desertion. Rowe is an Army veteran who served in combat tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq.
Rowe states that he is now on his way from Boston Airport to Fort Campbell in order to verify his status is cleared so that he will be a "political prisoner" no more.
He warns Screw Loose Change and other neo-con blogs who celebrated his arrest that he's "not going anywhere." Stay tuned for updates as they develop...

Maybe, just maybe, enough Americans can set aside their petty differences long enough to restore their country, their dignity, and their possibility of a free future ! C'mon, let's be free !!!

I don't understand why a trip to Fort Campbell is necessary to verify his status--that can be done via faxes, phone calls and/or regular mail or by merely presenting discharge paperwork.
Either he has a DD-214 or he doesn't. Either he has ETSed into the inactive reserve or he hasn't. Either he has a final discharge or he doesn't. All this paperwork is handed to you when you leave the Army. Why the confusion? Why the apprehension for desertion? Why the trip to Campbell?
That being said, any person participating in a effort to open people's eyes to 09/11--get people asking questions about 09/11--such as the Loose Change DVD does, is my ally. That is the big picture.
That Rowe is involved in some sort of apparent military paperwork snafu is not of major concern to me. It does seem to be a matter which could be handled in a much less complicated approach.

Why? Because he's lying his ass off, that's why.
And if your ally's credibility goes down in flames so does LOOSE CHANGE.
Just wait a few days and you'll see that the movement has lost its momentum and activists will now spend their energy stamping out fires and in other purely defensive activities.
Then tell me again how "any person participating in a effort to open people's eyes to 09/11--get people asking questions about 09/11--such as the Loose Change DVD does, is" your ally. Like it or not there are some people you don't want associated with the movement. You could do without Robert Hansen's or Jonathan Pollard's support, for instance. And, in the minds of the 90 percentile there is no diff between those convicted spies and a deserter.
That's like saying that a woman who supports the "chastity until marriage" movement is your ally, and one little ol' video of her sucking off a darkie through a barbed wire fence won't change your opinion of her.

I still think you are WAY overestimating this number. The Iraq War is extremely unpopular right now. Do you really think that ninety percent of Americans really care that a kid deserted the army? We live in a time when draft dodgers routinely get elected to high offices. Bill Clinton and Dick Cheney were draft dodgers. GW Bush never served in a war. I just don't think a majority of folks will care about this story.
That's not to say that your other points are not valid. I do not know if Rowe is legit or not. But I just don't see this "story" having the effect that you predict.

Do you think they'd let you cite him as a source of information when attacking the govt that they reflexively defend? Just because career politicians are sweating re-election doesn't mean that voters are willing to admit their mistakes.
Save your energy because you're going to need it. You're going to talk yourself blue in the face and no one give you the satisfaction of agreeing with you because they don't have to now.
And I think you're WAAAAY OVER ESTIMATING the effectiveness of your liar as compared to theirs.

Sorry Dawg, I'm not involved with any "truther" group and I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I'm merely a political observer, and my observation is that your logic is a non sequitur and difficult to follow here.
'Cuse me, boys......but is the issue the one of possible desertion OR the fact that he doesn't have a problem in lying/stretching/omitting/whatever truth while encouraging everyone to do their own checking?
As for whether anyone cares about those two spies, or anyone not serving---one thing in common, they are DESPISED for liars and traitors. Yet you seem to expect this guy to get a pass, Vitamin?

I think the point is to grab people's attention and then have them do their own research. One should ALWAYS do their own fact checking and draw their own conclusions. Would you believe something you saw on Faux Snooze without doing your own research on the topic? CNN? President Bush? Free Republic?

The point is that most people really don't care. As mentioned before, we have draft dodgers sitting in the highest levels of government. The Iraq War is unpopular, so I really doubt that anyone other than soccer moms, NASCAR dads, and Freepers really care much that some kid deserted the military. Personally, I do not care myself. At least the kid served, which is more than I can say about a lot of other chickenhawks.
