Una din oferte la acel moment: $16.500 despagubire.
Suma oferita de catre guvernul american este astronomic de mica, asta dupa ce o femeie din Australia a primit $1.9 milioane de dolari dupa ce a fost lovita cu o minge de golf de un puscas marin, sau cazul celebru al telecabinei lovita de un avion de vanatoare american, unde supravietuitorii au primit $2 milioane de dolari ca despagubire.
Totodata in cablograma se precizeaza felul in care guvernul american trateaza cu superficialitate acest accident, aratand clar respectul lor pentru Romania si pentru sistemul de justitie roman, asta dupa ce soldatul Christopher Van Goethem responsabil de moartea lui Teo Peter a fost scos din tara imediat dupa producerea accidentului, impiedicand prelevarea de analize care sa demonstreze sau nu conducerea automobilului sub influienta alcoolului .
Un alt aspect interesant este felul in care persoana care a scris cablograma atrage atentia asupra conflictului de interese care ar putea prejudicia statul american in relatia cu Romania:
Cele doua puncte sunt sensibile pentru ca prezenta Romaniei in Irak este un exercitiu de imagine, iar afacerea F16 poate fi pusa in pericol de ofertele venite de la Eurofighter , iar opozitia romana ar putea folosi cazul Teo Peter impotriva acestor decizii.
De asemenea, in cablograma, se face referire la Traian Basescu ca fiind ” un prieten apropiat ”.

(C) Teo Peter’s survivors reportedly initially requested a multi-million dollar settlement. In a November 1 letter to the Ambassador from the Peter family’s law firm, Arent Fox, attorney John M. Gurley suggests that the claimants are currently requesting an award of $1 million. In what is labeled “The Peter Family Claim: October 2007,” Gurley cites various past precedents for awards at that level or above, including for an Australian woman’s successful claim for $1 million after being hit by a Navy serviceman’s golf ball, and a $1.9 million claim to survivors of a teenage Mexican goat herder, the victim ostensibly of an accident involving the U.S. military. Gurley also cites the $2 million awards presented to the survivors of the Italian cable car accident involving a U.S. warplane, a case which has been cited repeatedly in the Romanian media and by Romanian government officials. Gurley writes in his letter that he had unsuccessfully requested a transfer of the claim from the U.S. Army Claims Service, Europe in Mannheim to Fort Meade (the headquarters of the Claims Service) or Washington, D.C. Citing “the very discouraging signals” the Peter family has received to date from the Claims Service, Gurley concludes by saying he hoped the Peter claim could be settled “in a manner suitable to all parties” before the April 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest, asserting that “it would truly be unfortunate for Romania, as well as the United States, if the NATO summit were to be marred by the U.S. government’s inability to close the Teo Peter matter in a fair fashion.”
