Harris reponds to Star Telegram story

David Harris has a response on Texas Kaos to the earlier story about charges levelled against him by Jennifer Vaughan.

On March 1, 2006, I received an email on my personal account from the soldier quoted in your story. She was posing as a reporter and made a variety of threats. In that email, she states: “You will not hear from me again, at least not until closer to the election.” On March 2, 2006 my wife and I filed complaints with Yahoo, Comcast and the Air Force Internet Abuse/IP Abuse Area at Robbins Air Force Base. The complaint included months of emails from the soldier that were received by me, my family members (at home and at work) and other bloggers listed in the article. The e-mails were generated from five different email addresses and two distinct IP addresses, one under her name and four under assumed names. The soldier received punishment/demotion due to her actions related to the harassment of my family and misuse of government property. It was only after my wife and I filed a harassment complaint against her, and her having received a demotion, that she began calling my chain of command at work and lodged a complaint against me, for which I received an administrative reprimand.

A letter dated 26 July, 2006 from the Commanding General 9th Regional Readiness Command, confirms that I received a letter of administrative reprimand and would not be subject to a court martial. All parties quoted in the Star Telegram article knew this to be the case and knew that there were no further or pending investigations. They have access to all of the facts and testimony that led to the administrative reprimand being issued. The Army has reached resolution and my family and I are working through this time together with the love of each other and the support of our friends and church. Therefore, I will no longer comment on this issue going forward.

That casts the story in a different light. I’m still not sure how I feel about it all at this point, but at least you now have both sides of the argument. Make of them what you will.
