Sr. Ardeth Platte said that the group took documents with them, detailing the merger of Space Command and Strategic Command.
In the new Air Force, she said, the intercontinental weapons of death have direct connections to the pre-emptive warfare plans enacted at Peterson, Schriever, Cheyenne Mountain, Buckley, and Offut Air Force Bases. Platte, Gilbert, and Hudson were transferred from the sheriff's office to a local jail in Greeley Sunday afternoon.
