Thanks for your research. Now, perhaps, we are getting somewhere.
Second stage: Can someone verify that those are Capt. Maniscalo's words, not words falsely attributed to him on the net? (Believe me, that kind of thing is common). One main reason for my doubt was the same expressed in #s 45 and 63: that pro-Muslim groups would have made one hell of a row, putting Capt. Maniscolo's job in extreme peril. The story, remember, has been floating around since March.
Short of sending him snail mail, no. I say that because the database does give further information on him which obviously I won't print here. But that would be about the only way to directly verify the authenticity. I'm going to go with the fact they are his words, although I see your point on disinformation. He should be aware someone is using his good name if that be the case. But even if they aren't his words, the point of the article is plain and understandable. I still stand by my own and the articles words. Arabs and Muslims are still the enemy until they prove otherwise. So far, I'm not impressed with what I've seen.
