Well, Nash has definitely been tracking Mancheck. And from the looks of it, he was (or is) close to proving something major. I’m guessing that’s what Stone was alluding to when he mentioned Nash in the congressional transcript… but I can’t quite figure out what kept Nash from getting the evidence he needed to go public with his story.

Apparently Nash spoke with a handful of soldiers about war-related illnesses… so maybe he and Stone had spoken at some point about Stone’s theories regarding Mancheck and chemical exposure after that bombing in 1993?

Either way, I don’t quite see how any of this relates to Piedmont. But I’m definitely siding with Stone and Nash: Mancheck’s not turning out to be the most inspiring figure. From what I’ve learned of him, it seems like indecent and immoral are his specialties.

That didn’t take long. After a little bit of Facebook searching, I tracked down the right Lance Stone on Facebook. Now I just have to see if he’ll agree to talk to me, or tell me how to get in touch with his father.

Does anyone reading this blog happen to already know or be friends with him?

Sent Stone an e-mail after I posted the last entry. I got an automated response right away, though, saying that Stone is on vacation. He claims that he’s still checking his messages, and I told him that I wanted to talk to him about Mancheck. We’ll see what happens.

Also, according to this statement on his website, he has a teenage son named Lance who lives somewhere in New England. I’m going to do a little bit of digging and see if I can track him down. If I get in touch with Lance, maybe he’ll be able to help me get his father’s attention.

More soon.

Another significant development: just received a classified document from two different readers of this blog. Neither will tell me where the document came from, but both claim its a reliable source. Don’t know how their source managed to get access to this, but I’m grateful to have more people working on figuring this out.

It’s a partial transcript from a sealed Congressional session held in 1995, and it seems to cast more light on Mancheck’s actions in Iraq. You’ve got to read this…

The transcript contains private statements made by a Dr. Jeremy Stone, outlining his suspicions about the presence of biological and chemical weapons in Iraq during Desert Storm, and a possible cover-up that took place. And he singles out Mancheck as the person responsible for it!

I’ve got to admit, I’m a little bit surprised Dr. Stone would stand up in front of a Congressional committee and say that stuff without hard evidence… but if what he’s saying is true, this isn’t the first time Mancheck has been connected to some undercover black ops-type stuff.

Not sure what to make of Dr. Stone. You don’t testify in front of Congress unless your opinions carry weight, so I’m assuming he’s well-connected… and if he is, maybe he’ll be able to help me get some real answers.

A quick search turned up his personal website, so I’ll try sending Dr. Stone an e-mail and see what I can find out.
