I heard a portion of the news conference yesterday afternoon. One of the arguments made by Hatfill's lawyer is that while there is a section of Harare called "Greendale" (probably hundreds if not thousands of towns called "Greendale" around the world), but there is NOT a "Greendale School" in Harare. This article appears to contradict that.
No it doesn't. The Greendale School talking point was originally floated by ABC News, and repeated in almost all the subsequent reports. There is no "Greendale School" in Harare. There is a Greendale suburb in Harare. That is all. This does not rise to the level of a coincidence, as you can verify very quickly by plugging the name of every city you've ever lived in the last twenty-five years into a search engine with the additional term "+Greendale." Now that the embellishment has been exposed, they are trying to save face by saying, well, okay, but there is a school in Greendale named after Courtney Selous, and Hatfill was supposedly in the Selous Scouts, so there is a connection to the phony Franklin Park return address after all, see?
Can you see how ludicrous this is? How desperate? Incidentally, Courtney Love had a band called Hole, and Mohammed Atta was an ass-hole, so that obviously ties the whole thing back to al-Qaeda, doesn't it?
Actually, he said he hasn't been able to confirm that there is a Greendale school there. He didn't say definatively that there isn't one there.
