Finally, Atlanta based Cox (Atlanta Urinal-Constipation), gets onto a story they should have been on in the beginning.

Thanks for this thread, Johnny.

BUCKHEAD: Your intrepid watchfulness deserves a SALUTE:

Now, here it comes: the Socialist backlash. A few days ago, I posted a few no-nonsense things you coud do to harden you as a target - take them to heart, on behalf of all of us.

Although this was not done in this case, I think it raises the standard question as to whether an experienced hacker could get into FR files and find the exact indentities of certain posters (i.e. their DNS numbers, or e mails or actual names) based on information provided when we sign up to receive our monikers and posting rights. This may have been addressed in the past, but some are probably still wondering.

The implication is, "...because he's a conservative, he was in on the hoax, which was a trap for CBS, set by conservatives." I don't listen to NPR but I can hear this 2nd day PM lead story already.

An Atlanta lawyer, Harry W. MacDougald

I see him as Atticus Finch--fighting injustice, etc.........I'm sure that's not how MSM sees him.

Regardless of precautions that websites use to protect their participants, anyone with the proper equipment (Protocol Analyzer) can capture the traffic on a specific IP address, trace it to its origin, then do a search and locate that person. If anyone wants to catch you, and they have the proper resources, they can.

Yes a "man of integrity" brought down the unprofessional journalist--Dan Rather.

On Democratic blogs, meanwhile, questions were being raised about how "Buckhead" could have analyzed the typefaces so quickly,

LOL! Not too bright over there are they?

Good point. I wonder if they were as diligent at seeking the identity of Rather's document source. I doubt it.

Fact is, there are a LOT of VERY serious issues that should be pushed HARD about the documets.

1. The widow and son were IGNORED
2. Document experts were IGNORED
3. Hodges was MISLED
4. The old secretary was NOT INTERVIEWED until afterward
5. The opinions of the experts were MISREPRESENTED
6. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED
7. George Bush's roomate DURING HIS GUARD YEARS, who AGREED TO SPEAK TO THEM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOO "PRO BUSH"...

And the list goes on. Fact is, this was a HIT PIECE ON BUSH. And just because dnCBS owns up to fake documents does NOT CLEAR THEIR PROPAGANDA / DNC REPORTING!!

If the documents were the ONLY ISSUE in this, without all of the other plainly propaganda driven results, it wouldn't be such an issue.

THE DOCUMENTS ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG! THE ICEBERG IS THE MANIPULATION AND DECEPTION OF THE PUBLIC!!

When the FReeper pj's come out for Christmas, they must have FReeper names on the shoulders, ya know like baseball uniforms? I nominate Buckhead for the FR pj's.

Excuse me, but are there any 'facts' in this story beyond Buckhead's personal associations? It strikes me that the Atlanta Journal & Constitution really doesn't have enough to go on here, and yet they publish this stuff?

They should be looking into how the forgeries came to CBS. That is knowable and doesn't require this level of speculation.

6. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED

..and IGNORED!
Correct me if I'm wrong but to this day their facts have not had a hearing on CBS. DISMISSED as partisan attackers when in fact most are fed up Democrats.

Zellocrats!!!

I think someone who wanted to discover the identity of a particular Freeper and had the resources of a major daily could find out. I know I've posted enough personal stuff that could be used to backtrack me to my real identity. So I don't believe the LAT's discovery of Buckhead was the work of a hacker, but of a curious newspaper reporter.

Unfortunately if the MSM put half the effort into things like the Rather Forgeries or the Swiftboat charges there would have been no need for Buckhead or anyone else to out the forgeries. And the fact that LAT spent time trying to discover Buchead's identity and NOT trying to find who forged and distributed the memos shows why Buckhead, Bloggers, and especially Free Republic are desparately needed.

They(hacker's) already have. I caught one instance of this 2 weeks ago while posting and article.

The 'Topics' screen was filled with nonsensical drivel.
