The Navy Times today reports that Spc. Jeremy Hall who recently filed a lawsuit against the military claiming he was threatened by an Army major for holding a meeting of non-Christians and atheists in Iraq now says that he is personally being harassed. E-mails from Hall to Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, say that Hall has been threatened on blogs with being killed by friendly fire for filing the lawsuit. Meanwhile, Lt. Col. James Hutton, a spokesman for the U.S.-led multinational force in Iraq, said that the Major alleged to have been involved in the incident leading to Hall's lawsuit-- Paul Welbourne-- cannot be located by the Army.
UPDATE: Truthout reports that Military Religious Freedom Foundation researchers have identified the Major at the center of Hall's lawsuit. His correct name is Freddy J. Welborn. He was found through his MySpace page. The complaint in the lawsuit will be amended and refiled to reflect the correct name.
