JULY 10, 2003 : 11:51 AM : (CHB'S DOUG THOMPSON ANNOUNCES HE WILL USE NO MORE UNNAMED SOURCES; CLAIMS HE TURNED THE MATTER OVER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT DELETES 6 OF THOSE ARTICLES FROM CHB SITE) - "A message from Capitol Hill Blue. . .No more "unnamed sources," DOUG THOMPSON, Jul 10, 2003, 11:51
(* My note : I hear Doug has oceanfront property to sell in North Dakota.)
Recently, this web site discovered it has been played as a sucker by a source that was used in seven stories that ran in Capitol Hill Blue from September 2002 until July of 2003. The person in question was quoted as an unnamed source in six of the seven articles and by name (Terrance J. Wilkinson) in the seventh. We later learned the name was bogus even though I had known (or thought I knew) the person by that name for more than 20 years. We have turned all our information on this source over to the appropriate law enforcement agencies and, at their instruction, will not discuss the matter publicly until they have concluded their investigations. When those investigations are complete, we will publish a full accounting with every piece of detail that we can produce or uncover about the individual involved. We owe that to our readers.
