Because I lost faith in the Dayton Daily News after they refused to correct, retract, or apologize for blatant lies in a hatchet piece they ran about the Peace Corps several years ago, I sought a few other sources for more info on this story. This one on Slate seems the most informative.

But it might be cost prohibitive to do so.
