You suffer from the preconception that lawsuits need adjudication to be successful. They don't. I'm not saying that's right, I'm saying that's the way it is.

Ain't nothing you can teach me about the practice of law, sport.

Klayman is a huckster and his outfit is a joke. DO feel free to contribute away, though.

> You keep suggesting that none of this is news. Maybe.

My point was "what's really new here?" for someone who
follows FR and SBVFT.

Many people get a bit overexcited with JW's frequent
mischaracterizations of JW's efforts. As far as I can
tell, there is no formal investigation underway. The
letter was referred (rather than denied) and an
investigation may or may not result, and if one results,
the timetable may or may not affect the election.

This is the only public letter that I know of, and was
certainly worth doing. Any number of SBVFT or other
interested parties may already have made requests and
not told us.

> You act as if Judicial Watch is NewsMax instead of
> a legal firm.

Their press releases tend toward hyperbole, and their
cases take forever to wind towards often-less-than-
-satisfactory resolutions.

Most legal firms do not publish press releases at
each step of their cases. If you've been following the
matter of SCO v. IBM, for example, SCO blabs at every
opportunity (and IBM is using their PR against them).
IBM has said el-zippo outside their filings. My money
is on the IBM approach.

> Questions 4 (vs. 2) stars on VSM

Even the SBVFT aren't contesting this [yet].

They won't question this point.

Kerry's Gridley cruise overlapped into two campaign periods (March-May 1968). His time on the Swifts did as well (November 1968-April 1969).

He legitimately received the four bronze campaign stars listed on his Vietnam Service Medal.

Unfortunately, law firms like JW who take most cases on pro bono have to rely on the kindness of strangers to make payroll. Marketing and PR is central to their existence.

Except the ACLU.

Klayman hasn't been with Judicial Watch for sometime. As someone who can't be taught anythng about the practice of law, you of all people would know the fist rule is having your facts in order.

From reading this it sounds as though the "complaint" is just a complaint filed with the Navy IG office. That is very different from a legal complaint filed in a court of law. Of course the guy who answers the phone needs direction from higher up. The "inspector" in the IG office is probably about a GS-9 or something, and is about 7 - 15 layers to far down to do anything with an issue like this.

IOW it reads like more smoke blowing by JW to me.

Congrats on mounting what is possibly the lamest defense of JW I've ever heard.

Hey, how'd Klayman's Florida senate run go?

(Having had his ass kicked in both the Judicial and Legislative branches, my guess is ol' Lar will shoot for the Executive next)

Lehman was good. Webb better. Dalton the personification of "Pansy". Unfortunately, the current climate in the navy reflects much more Dalton than anything else. Bush/Rumsfeld could have reversed this...as Reagan did...and chose not to.
