I didnt think the squabbling over the logistics of the hearings was appropriate for a summary Someone else may feel differently and if they do they should be bold and put it back in As long as the reader gets the drift that he was somewhat uncooperative under the pretense that he felt his life was atrisk I think thats enough for a summary style I fixed the military reference  a mucho important correction Feel free to get a second opinion from another editor Maybe Freerange has an opinion
