Actually, now that I think about it, you're probably right, the family might have requested it to get out their side of the story and to explain how Scott was framed.
What I was trying to say in my first post was that grieving families may make compelling TV but they don't always make sense. Like the one where the soldier was killed and the media went around crowing about the father blaming Bush for his son's death. Grief is a horrible emotion and I usually change the channel when I see someone distraught from it since I just wish they'd leave these poor people alone to grieve. I think some news outlets exploit it for ratings and/or to support their slant on whatever the subject is.
Thanks for the welcome. I've been around a long time, and had to get a new name because I moved. (If you change phone number and ISP--local ISP, that is--you have to "re-up.")
Why did you have to get a new name? I was able to keep mine when I went from dialup to cable although I tried to sign on from a different computer last week and couldn't remember my password to save my life.
