I'm not there, so I have no firsthand information at all,
but in this article Lt. Cmdr. Jeffrey Vorce says that the
"No Relief in Sight for the Lincoln" article is inaccurate:

"Ed Stanton" (pen name)'s article was also on sftt.org:

Again, while it's important to have the facts on the original email's validity, the points that are raised within the article itself about 1.) aiding a hostile Islamic nation and 2.) continuing the charade of support for the UN, are worthy points in themselves.
If in fact the article is a fabrication, it's a good object lesson on the importance of honesty in activism - reality has a habit of relentlessly blowing away falsity, thereby undermining the effectiveness of any effort that attempts to fake reality. Hopefully a lot of people on the net will read and digest the ideas presented in the article anyway, in spite of its author's foolish attempt to pass it off as authentic.
