A friend on the Hill read Milbank's piece and pronounced it "utter BS," then produced a copy of a July 8, 2010, letter to Brewer from Arizona rancher J. David Lowell describing a recent incident involving one of his ranch hands: "In January 2010, Congressman Rob Bishop visited our ranch here in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. During that visit, I related to him an incident that occurred on June 27, 2008, in one of our pastures west of the ranch house. "On that day, one of our ranch hands was working horseback and discovered a human head near a trail believed to be used by drug and alien smugglers. "Although the head was missing the lower jaw, it was immediately apparent that much of the mass and flesh of the head was still present. The cowboy searched the area in hopes of finding the remainder of the body to no avail. "The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office was notified and they took possession of the head on that same date. We suspect that the head may have been placed along side the trail as a warning to other drug and alien traffickers using the trail." A spokesman for Rep. Bishop told me they had confirmed the details of the incident described by Lowell. Curious, I contacted Lowell and asked him if he was willing to talk to Milbank. Here's what Lowell said:"I would be happy to talk to Dana Milbank and, in fact, I would like to invite him to a picnic. We could walk a mile or so up Peck Canyon from the Atascosa Ranch headquarters past where the body was found, which is being autopsied to the place where five (or more) innocent Mexicans (who claim they had broken only a few Federal laws) were fired on about two weeks ago by gentlemen in black camo shooting AK 47’s, he said. Lowell added that "there’s been one other shooting incident seven days ago in about the same place. We will supply the weenies and potato salad but Dana will have to walk about 200 yards ahead." So, Mr. Milbank, I hope you will take him up on that picnic and the stroll. But if I were you, I'd wear a flak jacket because the druggies with the AKs couldn't care less that you're such a smart guy. UPDATE: Maybe if the critics read Spanish Fausta Wertz reads Mexican newspapers regularly and says stories about decapitations are commonplace in the border towns south of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. She also has a few other choice words for folks like Dana Milbank, which you can read here.
