He was fair game to be followed; fair game to have business associates bribed; fair game to have anyone and anything around him called, questioned, investigated; fair game to be pick pocketed to discern his identity; fair game to stage a car accident with so as to obtail his real name; fair game for his family to be harrassed. C'mon folks, we starting to sound like the CBS defenders here. Jeff messed up - he didn't check his facts. And that sets one up for a lot of trouble in a combative situation like the blogsphere has with the media - and that cuts both ways.

And to be accurate, Gannon never claimed in his question that what he said was a quote. It's incredibly sloppy journalism, but on a very low scale.
