you guys need to chill out. It is not the responsibility of the poster to reconfirm a news article from another source. If it were, nothing from Drudge, Debka, and countless local papers could be posted here. The post and the link speak for themselves. Your objections/cynicisms and/or rebuttals/denials are duly noted and reasonable. No need to get into a flame war over it.

No need to get into a flame war over it.

I wasn't flaming anyone, so don't lump me into that category. But IMO if a poster is going to defend the article instead of simply providing it for commentary, then they should do some research to back up the article - like I did to see if the quote was mentioned anywhere else. And veronica has said she stands by the post, but she has provided NOTHING to back her words up.
