Any photos or videos?
Any audiotapes after TWENTY (20) YEARS of media using this poitical op as a credible news source?
CIA consultant?
Sounds a like Terry McLeftie scam......
The Clinton's political history goes back, what?
About TWENTY (20) YEARS?
What happened to that old TWO (2) SOURCES the media used to claim they require before publishing info?
This makes the Jayson Blaine/NYT frauds look tame!
This blackens all of the leftie media for TWENTY (20) YEARS BACK!

Well Doug, you haven't answered a single response. Hit and run is for losers and/or columnists that can't handle rebuttle.
Which one are you?

"Doug Thompson informs me that he did not sell that story to Japan Today. Japan Today got the story from Truthout.org. I had already exchanged emails with the editor of Japan Today, and was under the impression that the most they were going to do was print some denials by the White House, in tomorrow's edition.Here is a question..... Who owns the story, Truthout.org or Doug Thompson, if Doug is the author and didn't give permission to Truthout.org (Marc Ash) to re-print it, than Truthout.org should be in trouble with Doug huh?

Well, I want to see a scanned version of the Business Card he gave Doug Thompson, I want the numbers and addresses for this guy. And I want to see it all posted right here at FreeRepublic.com. I count myself among The Junkyard Dogs at FreeRepublic.com. This shmellz and I'm not going to let it go! We all know that TODAY'S RETRACTION does not equal YESTERDAY'S BIG HEADLIE (intentional misspelling) that was picked up and quoted and aired and posted and discussed. Damage done.

I have always said that when I screw up I admit up and boy, I screwed up big time.
You could have really messed up...you could have married a fraud!
But seriously, given this life-event and the recent bilge over the Jayson Blair affair,
someone needs to compose a short "fact-checking" booklet or website.
With easy tips for spotting frauds like this guy...like maybe being "photo-shy" or other
little warning signs, etc.

"On Tuesday, we ran a story headlined "White House admits Bush wrong about Iraqi nukes."
__________________________
That is not entirely the case. Now what was the original title of this article? "White House admits Bush lied about Iraqi nukes"
Exactly right Registered! I knew this sounded weak. I decided to read through the thread before pointing out the discrepancy in the original headline and the headline quoted in the apology.
I applaud Doug's efforts to come clean, but if you're going to come clean, do it. As a journalist your credibility is your livlihood. Using a questionable source is bad. Admitting is good. Trying to cover up just how far you took makes your credibility as questionable as his.

Exactly, terilyn.
To: Doug Thompson
That's funny. You know someone for 20 years and use him as a credible source and you never do the simple stuff like checking to see if the guy is a fraud anywhere along the line. Now, after the fact, you find the guy doesn't exist. Geez, you interested in buying a bridge I have for sale?

I wouldn't be surprised if he was a current State Department employee I was thinking of this guy, who supposedly knows all kinds of things, or at least Isikoff wants us to think so... he is the only named source in the article which was nothing more than an opinion piece against the administration. (Whether he's a real person or not I don't know- yet- but many sites picked up the story):
(snip) A recently retired State Department intelligence analyst directly involved in assessing the Iraqi threat, Greg Thielmann, flatly told NEWSWEEK that inside the government, there is a lot of sorrow and anger at the way intelligence was misused...."

I'm someone who has been answering a ton of emails, dealing with a problem on my own bulletin board and trying to run a business and a web site.
I will track this guy down. I've turned everything over to my attorney, who is setting up meeting with the FBI. We intend to use the legal system against this clown.
I'll keep folks posted and we will, of course, run stories on Capitol Hill Blue.
Thanks for the kind words from many of you. As for those with less than kind things to say, I understand your anger. I pissed as well.

It will be a long time (and perhaps never) before I trust someone else who comes forward and offers inside information. And it will even be a longer time, (if ever) before I believe anything written by Doug Thompson.
