My wife told me this at lunch but I didn't know whether she heard this on television or something she read online. Can anyone clarify?

4. I saw this report, too but sorry, can't remember where.
Maybe on Amy Goodman's show? His identity was leaked somehow.

I hate these bastards.

9. From the sounds of it
either him or his parents must have sent these email to at least 3 major media outlets. Each one followed up but could not get the family to go on record. So why did they bother to try to get this story out in the first place, only to back off later? Second, since this story was passed to so many places, it seems inevitable that this boys ID would be revealed.

I think they need to come forward at this point and go public. They're going to get threats either way.

10. Once you are involved with receptive media, the experience takes on
a life of its own.

In 2000, our family was profiled on CNN -- we headlined a show ahead of the Boy Scouts and the Pope, lol -- and once the thing got rolling, it was like being on a different planet. You make choices that make you go "hmmm" later.

8. Thanks, guys.
Jesus, these people are sick! Making death threats over politicians that could care less about them. :crazy:

It almost makes you fear the Democrats taking over Congress. Cause you know the right wing crazies will be crawling out of the woodwork to do God knows what!
