Sounds like these folks should file a claim under the Military Claims Act for negligence on the part of a government employee. Won't cost anything and at least they will get an answer in writing from a legal officer as to why they were denied- or maybe they will win their case.

Not sure of all that has happened in each individual's case but there may have been some violations of the Federal Privacy Act. Need to file this a different way.

Pete,
Where do we go to get information concerning your posts. It seems you may save us a lot of time searching the internet. Where should we start?
Thanks,

Maybe the US spends to much time sucking up to the Koeans. Maybe it is time to tell them that we are here for their benefit an they don't get to make the rules. I mean that's what this is all about. USFK does not want to ask the Korean's if it is OK for the contractors to stay because USFK is afraid they may say no, and we certainly do not want to offend our Korean hosts.
