As I always do, I gave the attribution BY NAME to both David Barstow and The Times. I repeated his name several times and The New York Times throughout. There was neither attempt nor intention to make it seem like this was my original work. Facts are stubborn things, I'm afraid. Between my journalism and history training, I take attribution VERY seriously and plagiarism even more so. Nice try, Televail. You can now point your unwarranted bile in someone else's direction. All best, Con Man! Televail:

Wanted you to know. When Conniff stated that Fox News is not a legitimate news organization - that did it for me. How long before Conniff endorses government run radio, so he can be told not only what to think - but what to say as well? Adios - I'm no fan of 'drone radio' (a.k.a.) con games. Add me to your lost radio listener column. Michael Conniff – Adios – 28OCT09

The other day we punched in a destination in Denver on one of those Map-Quest sites and even though we did not put our address in.. it gave us a reply that started our quest three-tenths of a mile from the house. We live 2.5 blocks from where the map began. Simple, oh yea...way simple! Bottom-line alpha...its time to acknowledge the new milennium and its possibilities beyond the complex gobbly-gook you chose to over-rate by calling it...intelligence. Star Eagle Interesting stuff but let me keep it very simple.

If only our news media were as diligent as you in resourcing and exposing information that the public doesn't generally see. I don’t blaim specifically the Bush administration, as obviously this stuff has been going on for a while now. I have a healthy suspicion of all power, no matter the Party. Yes, I’m small potatoes to the Feds at this point, and hopefully I’ll continue to fly under their radar. While peace groups have been monitored and infiltrated by federal agents (as recently as a few years ago in Colorado Springs), I don’t feel in any imminent danger as an individual at this point. It’s more a matter of principle…so far. I have considered asking to see my FBI file if one exists, under the Freedom of Information Act, but…I’m not sure if I really want to know what, if anything they have on me!
