There's rich irony in a newspaper "outing" someone who has made an anonymous comment (since when is anonymous political speech not protected?) questioning the validity of anonymously provided documents prostituted by CBS in an effort to harm a president's re-election.

Where is the LATimes investigation in the CBS documents? Into the Kinkos?

Where's the LATimes investigation into the half-million dollars to Democrats and Kerry given by the president's accuser? Those things don't even take but a minute to check and yet they can spend time reading TWO YEARS worth of posts on FreeRepublic and correlating it with 270 million possible suspects?

Buckhead has been singled out and I'm heartbroken. Why? He was NOT the first, he's not been the chief nor only questioner, nor the sole investigator of the documents' origins. There's no rationale for this piece by the LATimes. Do they mention THEY SUED FR in this presumably balanced piece? Do they mention the family of the alleged author of the documents saying he wasn't a typist, never mention the things claimed in the documents and didn't talk that way? Do they mention the alleged author's secretary says she did not type those documents, that she believes they're frauds? Do they mention CBS' own experts saw only *one* document each, raised concerns and were ignored? Do they ask why USA Today has SIX documents and CBS continues to assert there are only FOUR when the fifth document was given to a CBS expert for authentication! Do they ask how someone who was already retired could be putting pressure ? Do they find out if there's any record of ? Do they locate a Selectric of the area? Do they investigate the non-Guarde language used in the document? Do they investigate how a Tennessee Democrat party operative can PREDICT (in archived radio) the documents are coming weeks before the story breaks? Do they investigate who has a long-standing public grudge against the president and happens to have a running account at the Kinkos? And those are just a few questions they could do if they were really interested in INVESTIGATING.

Do they investigate why Kerry claims to have released all his documents when we know from an FOIA lawsuit that there are *AT LEAST* 31 PAGES HIDDEN and UNREVEALED?

DO THEY ASK ANYTHING THAT MATTERS ABOUT THIS STORY OR DO THEY SPIN FOR THE DEMOCRAT PARTY (TERRY'S BASELESS CLAIM ROVE DID IT) AND JOHN KERRY'S INTERESTS?

>> Do they mention THEY SUED FR in this presumably balanced piece?

They don't mention it, but the article links to the profile on his firm's website, where it is mentioned he participated in that case on some level.

I don't think he has anything to fear, and it looks as though he keep good company.

People do need to be careful about how their identity may be discovered when participating in forums such as this, but our individual circumstances will vary. I have provided informational links here before that revealed my true identity (though never mentioned it on the forum itself), and I used my real name for years on a favorite political newsgroup, and the email address I use most of the time contains personally identifying info. But I refuse to live in fear. I have never hurt anybody, rarely make anybody mad, don't have anything worth stealing, don't have any skeletons in the closet, and I keep the burg handy, so really I have no reason to fear being "outed".

From what I can tell, buckhead has every reason to be proud of who he is and the things he has done in his life, and this isn't going to hurt him at all. If he is presently in hiding, I guess we can hope it's someplace really cool like the Lincoln Bedroom (somebody ought to hint that to the d^uMb0ts or spanking chimps or whatever they are called), and be all the more envious.

A little more to the point, where is the L. A. Times's investigation into Russ Feingold and Tom Daschle, who were working to attract John McCain to "campaign finance reform" while at the same time they were planning to set up their giant 527's as unaccountable slush funds?
