Korey Rowe, one of the producers of the huge 9/11 truth film Loose Change,
may be sent back into the heart of battle in Iraq within a month if
he is officially returned to his unit according to a story run by the
New York Daily Star today.

The
Star reports that Rowe has been returned to his unit, the
187th Infantry Regiment, part of the 3rd Brigade of the 101st Airborne
Division, which is gearing up for its third deployment to Iraq sometime
this summer, according to announcements made by the Pentagon back in
May.

"According to our files, he is still on active duty," said
Cathy Gramling, a media relations specialist for Fort Campbell, Ky.,
home of the 101st.

Rowe was listed as absent without leave on June 15, 2005, and was
assumed to have deserted in mid-July 2005, Gramling said Monday.

Gramling said she did not know if there would be a court martial
for Rowe or what else is next for the 24-year-old.

"We’re not at that point yet," Gramling said.

Rowe’s colleagues at Louder Than Words said they do not know
what will eventually happen but have been in contact with Rowe.

"Every other day (Rowe says) the situation is different,"
said the group’s administrative assistant Kristy Kissner on
Monday.

At this point it is unclear whether the situation has changed at all
and it may simply be the case that the Star's latest report is nothing
more than hot air.

Last week Prisonplanet.com
broke the exclusive news that Rowe, who was released after his initial
arrest by Otsego County sheriff’s deputies on a military warrant
for desertion, left Fort Drum and decided of his own accord to travel
to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, where his former unit is based, in order
to clear his name and to no longer be a "political prisoner"
as he put it.

The Daily Star and other media outlets insinuated that Rowe had been
ordered to report to Fort Campbell, which was not true.

The officials at Fort Drum released Rowe after a barrage of calls resulting
from our articles prompted them to look into Rowe's record and immediately
confirm that he had received an honorable discharge. Drum officials
were reportedly baffled as to why a warrant would be out for his arrest
when he had clearly been given permission to leave the Army in 2005.

Rowe, an Iraq and Afghanistan combat veteran, defiantly stated that
he is not going anywhere and is hoping to wipe his name from the system
and return to his activities with the Loose Change crew.

Rowe was grabbed as it was being announced on the Loose Change website
that coordinated plans for 9/11 anniversary demonstrations had been finalized,
by Rowe himself, and as the final cut of Loose Change is being prepared
for release. The fact that he has made several public appearances in the
last two years and not been apprehended indicates that there has never
been a warrant against his name in the army database.

As we highlighted last week, the Army court-martialed just 5% of deserters
last year, with that number dropping to just 1 per cent or less for
the Navy and the Marines. Rowe had satisfactorily completed his tour
of duty and yet was grabbed by police and handed over to military officials
on the basis of a tip-off the authorities received.

We hope to have confirmation on Rowe's latest situation soon and
will bring any further updates as and when we get them.
