Hey, Cindy, I know your type from all my time on Free Republic. There is NOTHING he could do, NOTHING he could say or show, that would convince you he was telling the truth if you've decided he's a liar. You would convince yourself that it was all false. Which is smart in things like Rathergate, but petty, stupid, and bad PR for FR when it's something like this. I don't know the guy, I'm not vouching for him, and I never claimed I did or was. I had ONE SIMPLE QUESTION:
What's the worst-case scenario if he turns out not to be a legit reporter?
I AM vouching for the idea that a working journalist who posted on FR would go through several screen names in order to preserve anonymity.
