"To verify that printouts of the postings he had been given were not fake, Post reporter Matthew Mosk logged onto the site a couple of months later using a password provided by an intermediary who was acting on behalf of MD4BUSH, Brenner said. He said Mosk read the messages and did not post anything on the Web site."
I know, was semi-sarcastic. I don't get this 'intermediary' stuff, just who was it and isn't that against FR rules?
I'm sure this has already been said numerous times, but I'll say it again anyway.
The only reason the Post could have felt compelled to make up this ridiculous "intermediary" cover story is because one of their reporters is MD4BUSH. (In fact, there are probably more Post "plants" at FR than just him.)
Well, this guy masquerading as MD4BUSH screwed up. This reporter got lazy. He stupidly made the mistake of logging onto FR from work, which means that Jim now has a precise record of all his ISP logins. The Post lawyers realize that if they're sued, the discovery process will reveal all the MD4BUSH logins from their offices.
In fact, this MD4BUSH screen name probably just scratches the surface. They probably have a lot more to hide.
Whatever it is, it's enough to make them panic and come up with "The Intermediary" cover story. Essentially, it's enough to make them actually admit to the entire world that, not only did reporter Matthew Mosk log on to FR, but he logged onto FR using the MD4BUSH screen name.
This story equals the Dan Blather story in the pleasure factor. It's definitely a "10" if I ever saw one. Heh, heh. I'm lovin' it.
