VERDICT FIRST, THEN THE TRIAL :

A High-Tech Lynching: ABC News, The FBI, And The Greendale School Myth (Nicholas Stix, August 14, 2002, Toogood Reports)

Are the FBI and the elite media interested in catching the right guy, or the right-wing white guy? In the case of the terrorist who
last fall murdered five people and made 13 others ill via anthrax-contaminated letters, the feds and Big Media have decided that it would be expedient to railroad scientist Steven J. Hatfill, and have engaged in collusion towards achieving that end. The only problem is, that no one has produced one iota of evidence tying Hatfill to the crime. And so, the media and law enforcement have subjected Hatfill to the death of a thousand cuts, via incredible leaks, innuendoes, irrelevancies, and even outright fabrications. Apparently, Hatfill's tormentors seek to make an eventual trial a mere formality, or perhaps even drive their victim to an act of such desperation, as to make a trial unnecessary.

This in one of the strangest stories of recent years and Mr. Stix has been all over it like white on rice since day one. Hopefully the guy did it because otherwise what's been done to him is shameful. And Mr. Stix raises our doubts. Posted by Orrin Judd at August 26, 2002 5:02 PM
