A shame this article gives no mention to FR; a few members of which were instrumental in all of this coming to light.

What agenda was being forwarded by the fraud?

[randog]

Anyone know what this refers to?

[Dog]

Seems the source has been feeding Doug info since Sept '02..

[Dog]

I'll get you the link..

[Digger]

"It's a little too late to do the right thing now"

Mea culpa all you wish.

[Dog]

Start here....

Conned big time..

[Poohbah]

Try 1982. Yes, 21 years. He apparently wormed his way onto House committee staffs in the 1980s with his legend of having been a Green Beanie and a consultant for the CIA and NSA.

[Dog]

Then finish here...

Click..

[William McKinley]

Yeah, I do.

Start here and then continue upwards. You'll get what it is all about.

And then if you want to follow the whole thing in detail as it unfolded, you will have to read several rather long threads. I'll link them here in a moment.

Anyone know what this refers to?

Probably the controversy about Iraq and uranium from Niger. Capitol Hill Blue cited Terrance J. Wilkinson as a "CIA advisor".

Google: "Terrance J. Wilkinson"

In my opinion, Capitol Hill Blue and Doug Thomson lost their credibility during the Paula Jones lawsuit. Their "facts" were just plain wrong, and even when the errors were pointed out to him, Thomson continued to insist that he was right.

[Dog]

This is what I was referring to..

Recently, this web site discovered it has been played as a sucker by a source that was used in seven stories that ran in Capitol Hill Blue from September 2002 until July of 2003.

[Poohbah]

Right. But in the "I got conned" announcement, Thompson mentioned that he'd met the guy in 1982.

[William McKinley]

This thread started things on FR. Don't get confused though- it had a different title when it first was posted (a moderator changed it later). The original title said Bush admitted lying.

This article comes next.

Then this article went up when Thompson admitted something was very wrong.

Then there was a bit more here.

[randog]

Interesting. Makes you wonder how many other media outlets that use un-named sources are being conned...or really care.

Thanks for the link.

[Dog]

William did a great job on fleshing this out for us...

[Pest]

Bump for later read
