Thanks for posting that. I had no idea who this guy was. But then I read traditional news sources, and tune out the one's I've never heard of.

re: Worldnet...I recall a magazine called Insight, which I have not seen or read in a couple years. My recollection was that the magazine was published by the Reverend Sung Yung Moon. Some people would say he created a cult. I have no comment on that. However, I think that Insight happened to have some excellent articles. I did not read it because I cared about any religious or philosophical viewpoint. And actually, sometimes it takes somebody with a non-mainstream point of view to really dig and find out things that the mainstream media just doesn't handle.

Mao, Looks like Gore did it again! The other day he claimed that he "Co-sponsored the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill". How can that be? Russ Feingold was not even in the US Senate till 1993, long after GORE left for VP... -John

Your source for this story is worthless. I see. So I guess the 3 part series on Whit Lafon's being investigated for drug smuggling is crap also?? You see, that series appeared in the Savannah, Tennessee newspaper BEFORE WND carried the story. In fact, it was written by RESPECTED independent investigative reporters with no apparent connection to WND (certainly.. one of them, Charles Thompson, worked extensively with Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes) But now apparently Gore has put pressure on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to stop looking into it. aim.org "THIS REPORT IS A CONDENSED VERSION OF A VERY LONG ARTICLE ABOUT WHIT LaFON, Al Gore's maternal uncle, by Charles Thompson and Tony Hays. Thompson was a Navy officer during the Vietnam War, where he was with the First Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO) that served as gunfire spotters and artillery observers for all the services. Tony Hays recently won the Tennessee Press Association award for investigative reporting for his stories on drug trafficking. Thompson took up journalism after he finished his second tour in Vietnam. For most of his career he was a producer for "60 Minutes," working mainly with Mike Wallace. That is where he was in April 1989, when the No. 2 gun turret on the U.S.S. Iowa blew up. Charlie got a call from a gunner's mate on the Iowa, not long after the accident that whetted his interest in the case. Five months later, after Bob Zelnick of ABC News wrote a newspaper op-ed article suggesting that the Navy was trying to make a scapegoat of a sailor killed in the accident, Wallace told Charlie that he could do the story. "60 Minutes" ended up doing three segments about it. Last year, Charlie's excellent book on the Iowa disaster, A Glimpse of Hell, was published by Norton. He is now working on two other projects involving the Navy. He has some new information about the shootdown of the Iranian airbus by the U.S.S. Vincennes. He is also interested in TWA 800, and has filed an FOIA request with the Navy for a lot of detailed information about what ships they were deploying off Long Island the night of the crash and what ordnance was expended. *********************** worldnetdaily.com TENNESSEE UNDERWORLD Gore rep tries to keep media off WND series 'Witch hunt' for whistleblowers inside Tennessee police agency -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Charles Thompson and Tony Hays © 2000 WorldNetDaily.com SAVANNAH, Tenn. -- A representative of Vice President Al Gore's campaign, Doug Hattaway, has been calling media outlets across west Tennessee attempting to stop coverage of last week's series of WorldNetDaily reports detailing allegations of political corruption by Gore and his close friends and supporters in Tennessee. WMC-TV in Memphis and WBBJ-TV in Jackson, Tenn. both shot interviews with the reporters -- and then killed the stories at the last minute with no explanation. Meanwhile Gore's ally and supporter, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director Larry Wallace, is scouring the TBI in an attempt to locate WorldNetDaily.com's sources for its three-part series of reports. ************* Or you can look at the Savannah Journal (Savannah, Tennessee) which carried the Hays/Thompson articles on Tennesse corruption involving Gore's uncle, Lafon, and implicating Al Gore himself in the desecration of archaeological burial sites. savannahjournal.com And they also carry Tony Hay's article on the drug problem in Hardin County, Tennessee. savannahjournal.com Yeah... I'm sorry that you will shoot the messenger, but not the message. Regards, Ron
