There is also the possibility that her anti-Semitic views written under pseudonyms were not traced to her when her criticism was quoted. It is very reasonable, since she making those statements under a pseudonym, to consider the rest of her report questionable at best. I think Doug using her as a source without realizing that she wrote anti-Semitic crap under a pseudonym is perfectly excusable as an honest mistake. Kennedy's staff should be very embarrassed that they didn't vet her before quoting her. Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
