Seems to me that there is something we are missing, or at least something he doesn't want us to discover.
Donning my tin-foil chapeau, I now am going out to weed and think.
Doug Thompson says that he has pulled six Capitol Hill Blue articles because they were based on Wilkinson as a source.
Do you know what those six articles were? Did any of them appear on FreeRepublic? (They might still be in Google's cache too, although they'll undoubtedly disappear soon.)
Knowing what disinformation or information Wilkinson fed Thompson earlier could be quite revealing.
[Maybe someone has already posted what the six stories were? The threads on this topic are long, and I could easily have missed it.]
