I tried again moments ago to get back to the man at the county Republican Party office along Scalp Avenue to update him with details of vetted Afghans and incidents at U.S. military bases in Afghanistan.
This was in the wake of a discussion Thursday at 5:30 p.m.-ish during which he seemed to doubt my recollection of vetted Afghans doing such things.
He wanted names, dates, specific places. At the time, I told him to give me his name and I’d go home and research this for him and provide details. He neglected to provide his name.
But, after I got back home last night, I spent some time on the computer and dug up that specific info, even including it in a blog post I wrote and posted Thursday night so others could see for themselves.
I had called back last night to try to tell him my results, but it was beyond office hours and I got a recorded message. I didn’t see the need to leave the lengthy message required to try to specify the nameless person for whom the message had been left, and the laundry list of facts he had requested.
This morning I tried again – at 10:50 a.m., in the heart of supposed hours in which the office is open — and, again a voicemail. Again, I left no message.
I’m not sure I want to dedicate my life to trying to provide facts to this man. But, I tried.
