Oh my!

[Poohbah]

Doug, I take back everything I thought about you.

There are a LOT of hucksters out there, trading on the Special Forces/SEAL/CIA mystique. You weren't the first to get rolled, and a lot of folks will get rolled after you.

[MJY1288]

You have FR Mail

[Dog]

William good job......the story here is who went to all this trouble to accuse the President of lieing..

[Poohbah]

Ping. Doug Thompson got slow-rolled, and 'fesses up.

[adam_az]

The question now is, who is this guy, and where is he now?

[HairOfTheDog]

NO KIDDING....

Thanks..... Thanks alot!

Hope you have a better rest of the week!

[Dog]

FR mail back at you...

[livius]

I think Dem plants have gone from the "unnamed source" to the "non-existent, fictional, but named source." Thanks for admitting you were had.

But you probably weren't the only one. I think it's a really clever technique, and you probably weren't the sole journalistic victim.

[Dog]

Agreed..

[Humbug]

>The question now is, who is this guy, and where is he now?

and also why did he suddenly want his name (or alias) to be released when he must've known his fraud will be found out then.

[habs4ever]

So, since you helped push a bogus line, fix the mess you caused, if you can.Why not use your brainpower to find out just who this turd was and who he worked for all these years.

[Dog]

It would be nice to know if this guy was used as a source for the uranium story by other members of the media..

[piasa]

fyi

[SAMWolf]

It happens to the best of us. Takes courage to admit it.

[rwfromkansas]

Alright....surely your Hill friend knows who he is if he knows his name is not Terry Wilkinson. Sue his ass.

[LibWhacker]

Thanks for the ping and thanks to Doug Thompson for the explanation and apology. I wonder who this Wilkinson guy is, a DNC operative or what?

[William McKinley]

I am in awe that Mr. Thompson so quickly worked to set the record straight.

It is hard to avoid the trap of letting anger get to you. He admitted yesterday that he wrote in anger. In doing, he left an opening for an unscrupulous person to exploit.

There was something very important once- a major story that Capitol Hill Blue broke. Someone pointed it out yesterday.

Writers and broadcasters friendly to the Democratic cause have already been provided talking points... Capitol Hill Blue obtained a copy of the talking points... The talking points outline a strategy to raise public doubts of the President’s real intentions, including: ...--Claiming the Bush administration has “manufactured” evidence against Saddam Hussein and used that evidence to encourage Britain and other allies to join the American fight against Iraq;"

There.

This now is the big story.

Let's find the S.O.B.

FWIW, you have my greatest respect, Sir.
