Gallagher story fakeout

[Dufaeth]

Maybe I'm crazy, but wait and see. This is not the same as Williams, as Gallagher was paid for specific project writings.( not that there is no ethical problem there, it's just not the same as specifically buying propaganda.)

Once we've latched onto this one, I bet a bunch of stories about Clinton era writers who did the same will come out, pre-emptivly ruining the the impact of the other Williams type crimes when they are revealed. They did it with the national guard story and others.

1. Actually, this is the only thing for which Williams has been punished

so far.

He lost his syndication deal because his publisher said they weren't aware he had been paid for the opinions he put into his columns and they felt it undermined his integrity.

2. Williams is not the one I'm worried about

The ones who need to be punished are the people in the government responsible for it.

3. I was only responding to the statement that the Gallagher thing

isn't the same as Williams. In fact, the part that is similar to Williams is the one thing that has had repercussion for Williams.

4. These two are apples and oranges

Not going to have legs.
