A very good point about the context for information shared on IP. While I admire the way this semi-edited (by your choice) open-source discussion list corrects itself, many people will dismiss something they have only seen in one context. The Clint Curtis sworn testimony was given during the hearings organized by John Conyers in December 2004. Rep. Conyers brought the hearings to Columbus, Ohio to focus attention on the machinations of Secretary of State Blackwell, who refused to testify at these hearings. Plenty of other people did testify, including the bombshell of Clint Curtis' surprise appearance. Conyers' book "What Went Wrong in Ohio" was the title and reference for the Harper's article and documents the facts and testimony from these hearings. The press has largely ignored the issue and these hearings. I have not heard whether any credible reporter has even thought to ask Rep. Tom Feeney whether these allegations were true. Since these hearings, Feeney has been caught up in the Delay lobbyist payola scandals. Feeney was on the DeLay-Jack Abramoff golf junket to Scotland, and has been one of the biggest takers of DeLay cash. Why would we not believe the programmer? Perhaps only if the context of the video could not be validated. [Message truncated.
