Check out Bennie Thompson's website:

He says he was "contacted" about this event. What I think is crucial is exactly who contacted him...he's got to answer that question. My best guess is that it was one of the leftist organizations or even the Kerry camp. It doesn't pass the smell test.

Just my thoughts--since this is a MS unit, I believe Mr. Thompson and co. may have orchestrated it by suggestion, inuendo, etc., thus getting the desired results without bribing or doing something so overt as to leave a connectiong trail. However, the background of Citizen Soldier and therir involvement should be news (but won't be to MSM) and maybe some of the conservative media or even the swiftboat vets could get involved to get this out, as it is obvious it is the same type of anti-war stuff the VVAW put out. If the MSM really grab it, like they seem to be doing, with a few pushes by DNC operatives, it has a couple of weeks to work up to the full-throated hew and cry of Abu Graieb. And I have an idea they have other surprises in store, too. Our election process is in trouble on all fronts thanks to the compliance of MSM and the viciousness of the DNC.
We simply cannot afford to ignore this. I just wish I could do more, but am hopeless at internet research. Thanks for posting this. I can sure connect the dots.
