I fully agree with him 100% that the New York Times should still be forced to pay Hatfill for Kristof's libelous articles. Hopefully the appeals court will remand that back again.
Also, it is critical that we continue to fight hard against a blanket Shield Law for the press, or else they will be able to destroy with impunity the lives of people that they don't like because of political reasons.
Ping.
Kincaid is right. Bush’s failure to clean out the FBI, CIA, and State Dept. has left this country more vulnerable.
As bad as it is, bureaucratic incompetence is perhaps the least worrisome aspect to this case. Shouldn’t we also consider the possibility that someone within the FBI purposely routed the investigation away from the real suspects and toward an innocent man.
I do not doubt that the vast majority of FBI agents are honest hard working patriots but this is the same agency that allowed Robert Hanssen to pass secrets to the Russians for over 15 years.
FWIW, Kincaid started talking about Dr. Hatfill being innocent on August 20, 2002.
I was saying the same thing -- for better reasons -- on August 12.
for what its worth, I think it was kida related. But, they don’t want the truth to come out. Can you say cover-up? Think about it, draining ponds, raiding girl friends houses, press convoys traveling to watch searches, NY Slimes involvement, etc.. Its just my opinion.
