Thanks for all the great responses to this.
I'm not saying that these guys have to spill their guts about everything and possibly risk going to jail. But, there are many who should be speaking out who aren't. And I didn't say it had to be to the media. In fact, they can do so anonymously. I don't care. But, from what I can tell, not many anonymous people these days are speaking out about Int base events either.
I made an offer at OCMB and I'll make it here. If there are any ex-Int basers who want to tell their story, or give out vital info either here, or on OCMB due to membership restraints, I will post it for you. And if that person wants to remain anonymous, I can be trusted with keeping your identity fully secret.

The difference between me asking these people to speak up, and someone else is that I worked with most of them and was there. Plus, there have been many others who worked at the base who laid their necks out on the line much earlier, and even now, by speaking out and exposing the truth. If you think my request is a bad thing, or even presumptuous, you have your opinion and I have mine.
Honestly, I think it would be great if the Independent Movement started their own message board like this one, or OCMB, instead of it being on one guy's blog. Open discussion would be great. People would have the option of posting their stories or not, and away from the "natter boards."
The last time I really started to dig around over at Marty's and was told that I was asking the RIGHT questions, I was told that it should be taken "back channels." So much for open discussions.
