Thread Name: BS: The Brave New World You Ordered's Here.
Subject: RE: BS: The Brave New World You Ordered's Here.
Amos: you present an article from a Internet magazine that has a policy of :"submit an article to 2600 that you think we would like to print, and if we print it, we will send you a free shirt, or if we print two of your articles we will give you a free email address," does not seem to me to be anything to get too excited about.

They present no proof from the police, secret service or any other agency mentioned in the "story" that this event really really took place.

I don't find it particularly unsual, because of the current terrorist climate, that extraordinary security measures are taken to protect the Vice President. What the photographer was doing was exactly what a terrorist might do if there was a plot to kill the Vice President, isn't it?

There must be thousands of these Internet publications with an axe of some kind to grind. Are you saying they are all credible? We should believe articles contained in them because they favor or promote our own cause, or POV? Or should we just accept them because they are on the Internet?

Has the Denver Post reported this story? Anyone know?
