>>> You sure don’t take much to convince! What if the other one is a hoax?
Lavender doesn’t even sound Kenyan... the newspaper...
the apparent ease of photo-shopping multiple versions...
the whole flap with the attack site...
My interest might be restored with REAL news on the progression of the motion to validate.
The fact that Hawaii refused to validate their own COLB is bigger news to me right now.
I am not saying that it is real or not. I am saying that Dr. Ortiz might have more information than she is releasing. Furthermore I would expect disinformation to come out if it was real. Lavender could very well be an English name or that of a Kenyan with English heritage. I’m just saying PATIENCE. It is either real or it isn’t. There is no need to jump to either conclusion.
There have been people with the surname "Lavendar" in Kenya; for example, here's the burial record for Edward Lavendar in 1955 in Nairobi: http://www.eamemorials.co.uk/EAMemorials/KENYA/Nairobi%20City%20Park%20Cemetery/CityPark1171.htm.
