[Interesting Times]

The POW Network has added Clarence Lee to its phonies list, and is now working with the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal journal on a followup story that is expected soon. More interesting details here.

The paper has now removed the Clarence Lee story from its web site.

A newsgroup poster reports receiving this reply to his email:

---

The tip for this man's story came from a highly credible woman in the community and, if his story is not true, we feel duped. In almost 30 years of doing this job, I've never had a veteran tell us a false story.

The reporter has been doing this for more than 40 years and has never had a vet lie. So we had no reason to believe this was false. We are doing a followup story.

Sincerely,
Terry Greenberg
Editor
The Avalanche-Journal

The truth, of course, is that the paper makes no effort to validate anybody's service, and therefore have absolutely no idea whether they've been lied to before or not...

Well, some good came out of the story before I read it all and the updates..My screne got so blurry that I went out and cleaned the garage before continuing! LOL

I thank each of the contributors who exposed this phony.
