Oh, thanks Snowshoe. Carrie Lee of course didn't apologize for misrepresenting me as some sort of international criminal. Journalists are not notable for ethical standards - it's safer to buy a used car from a dealer, sight unseen, than to trust a journalist. I hasten to add that I am not prejudiced against journalists. Heck, some of my best friends are journalists. In fact, one of my in-laws is actually a journalist for a big deal United States of America newspaper. Journalists should definitely be treated as human and have full human rights. I do wonder though how journalists manage to get things wrong so consistently and I mean factually incorrect, not the opinion side of it. For example, publishing a photo of somebody and saying it's Irwin Jacobs when it isn't. Stuff like that. Saying the truck hit the car, when it was actually a motorcycle fell off a cliff. Here's Fred on journalists, saying it from the inside, which of course makes him a criminal insider-trader fredoneverything.net He knows Hatfill personally and I sent Fred $5, via PayPal, and have exchanged emails, so maybe I'm part of an international anthrax terrorism strike. I doubt the FBI would find me hiding here in cyberspace though. We do have cows and sheep and stuff here in New Zealand [I think anthrax hangs out in livestock zones] and there was a 'Hatfill in New Zealand' comment [he was apparently here for a while], so it's pretty obvious what conclusion can be drawn. I will probably have to admit to having been to the Ruakura agricultural research premises too and having associates there. Cows have anthrax. I have also been to Britain and they have mad cow disease. If I go silent, I've probably been carted off to the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay as an enemy alien combatant - goodbye cruel world, hello Zombie-land. Ah for the days of habeas corpus, real freedom, when one could ride a bicycle on a beautiful sunny day without the police arresting us and gaoling us for not wearing an approved helmet, and all that stuff of the good old days when we didn't lock our doors [if they had locks].
