see my comment just above yours and see the final paragraph, “When we asked MSNBC for an official statement, we got no such thing. And when we asked Nichols whether he’s still working on Reid’s hacking, we received no response. These people have no time for silly press inquiries. They have a perpetrator to track down.”
Yes, you beat me to the post. Another example: Two people questioned the claims of Reid’s “expert” that there appeared to be tampering. They went deep into the archives for originals.
“But hey, what do Nelson and Poulsen know, anyway? The former is merely an Old Dominion University professor with deep knowledge of digital preservation; the latter is merely a longtime journalist with a clear writing style, loads of technical bona fides and what you might call a practitioner’s appreciation of hacking. “
