> Highest Ranking US Officer Killed in Iraq Was An Apparent Suicide

6 August 2012, 22:03, by PJS

I was a weapons/tactics/PSD instructor at Camp Dublin, BIAP, Iraq. He, Col, USA Theodore S. Westhusing, committed suicide in his quarters, with a 9mm Berretta with one shot, about 20/30 feet from where I was standing with about 10 others present. Yes, thier was a note.
He was proven to steal money from the DOS and DOD, in the contract that was awarded to USIS. USIS was going to produce the information to the Dept of State. USIS asked the Dept of Defense to reassign him, so that no formal charges would be brought to bear. He was given a choice by the Dept of Defense to accept an instructor job at the USMA.

Ask his family...
