Mark and Cory - Thanks for responding to my disagreement on this. I remain uncomfortable at the publication of the story. I'm a wee bit uncomfortable that Dave published it, but I'm really discomforted by the appearance here.

My discomfort arises from two concerns. First, due to the viral nature of the weblog circuit, this story could easily spin out of control. This is especially so since Boing Boing is a primary infection source of blog memes. Remember guys, the respect this place has earned is due to your history of editorial judgement. Don't piss it away.

Second, Dave writes to a more limited audience than those who read the blog circuit. I believe Dave's readership is more likely to apply the appropriate filters.

Lest anybody thinks I'm playing apologist for the INS, that's not the case. What scares me the most is that there is some truth in there that gets lost in misinformation. Brock's position rings true to me: there probably is something to it. If there is, then it's all that much more important that the true facts of the case emerge. Baseless speculation or hysteria don't help.
