This Morning December 24th, the Boston Globe reported that the story about
the young man who reported that Homland Security visited him over a book
he received from interlibrary loan was not true.
Yet another example of the end justifies the means. Report something (of
course the student is not identified), acquire a lot of great publicity,
(Ted Kennedy even used this story in his rambling attack on George Bush
and the renewal of the patriot act) rile up the political
"diatribists", then report the truth when it will not receive any
attention.....

They very properly did not identify the student in question. (Why
on EARTH would Bruce think this significant??)
[Bruce Esser]
Perhaps there never was a real student. Without the identification
of same the suspicion exists that this was another wonderful
fabrication for political/economic purposes. Conceived by the
demoncrats. executed by uber leftist professors (redundant yes i
know), reported without any fact checking by the blue states press
and dedicated to the proposition that any story that demonizes the
republicans is a fair story even if it is not true.
