"Under the guise of "full disclosure," why did Stella L. Jatras identify herself as, "a career military officer’s wife, lives in Camp Hill, Pa." instead of a staff member/writer for Antiwar.com, an organization,"

Because Stella is not "a staff writer for Antiwar.com."

Stella is a freelance writer whose specialty for the last seven years has been the Balkans. Yes, antiwar.com has picked up some of her articles and letters, but so have a lot of publications, including Jewish World Review, The New American and Jihad Watch. You can't publish an author's entire resume as an intro to every article and Stella also IS "a career military officer's wife".

There is no conflict of interest, but it makes me wonder what your agenda might be in trying to pretend that there is!

Agenda? Sheesh

I never wrote that there was a conflict of interest. That was you. She CHOSE to identify herself a certain way which lent credence to a identity as an innocuous military wife just posting a response to an article when, in fact, she is more than that.

She IS a journalist and she IS on the staff ("Researcher") of Anti.war.com and she WRITES for them. QED (Check out the right side of the page http://antiwar.com/who.php). Also a Nexix/Lexis search shows that she is a regular letter to the editor writer to the Washington Times

So, when posting here or writing there.....

Why be disingenuous? What is the purpose of the "deception"? Who benefits?

Waht's wrong with an agenda of haveing people say who they are?
