The Diario Libre reports that legendary Army Colonel Pedro de Jesus (Pepe) Goico worked side by side with Army chief Radahmes Zorrilla Ozuna in the morale-boosting given to the 150 men who leave tonight for Iraq as part of the Quisqueya Task Force. These soldiers will replace the first group that returned on Sunday. Diario Libre reports that Goico was in charge of coordinating the task force. Goico achieved great notoriety for a multi-million fraud regarding the credit card that was issued to him as chief of the military aide corps of President Hipolito Mejia and for investigations into the use of the aircraft that carried the seal of the advance team of the President. Despite the accusations, Goico was subsequently promoted within the ranks of the military.
