I was just listening to the G. Gordon Liddy Show, he was talking to a reporter for the American Spectator, which has a piece on our favorite FBI director Freeh. From the sound of the reporter the story is very damming, on everything from Waco to the entrappment of Malcolm X's daughter. Ben Hill From the land of the Freeh

Having experience using American Spectator as a source for research papers, I can state without any doubt in my mind that anything I read in AS I attempt to find proof of their claims somewhere else. Not to say that Freeh is good, or that the claims aren't true this time (I haven't read it, yet..), but their articles in the past have had glaring lies^H^H^H^H inaccuracies. It's like reading the traditional liberal media... they'll twist anything to fit their preconceptions.

That's a good policy, regardless of the source. Respectable journalists just don't trust only one source - they find collboration from good, reliable sources. Too bad most journalists have no idea what "respectable" and "professional" mean anymore. -- Ed Carp, N7EKG Ed.Carp@linux.org, ecarp@netcom.com 801/534-8857 voicemail 801/460-1883 digital pager Finger ecarp@netcom.com for PGP 2.5 public key an88744@anon.penet.fi Q.
