Capitol Hill Blue Conned — Again
First it was “someone pretending to be” Terry Wilkinson (scroll down just a little at the blog link), who in 2003 claimed to have attended briefings where President Bush was supposedly told in no uncertain terms that Iraq had NOT attempted to obtain uranium yellow cake from Niger. It turns out that “Wilkinson” had snookered Doug Thompson of Capitol Hill Blue (CHB) about his credentials and expertise for 20 years (obviously pre-dating the start-up of the web site).
Thompson apparently apologized here, but if so, the story has since been revised, and the apology has disappeared down the memory hole.
Now we learn that former Nixon and Reagain Aide George Harleigh doesn’t exist, bringing forth another CHB apology, but not from Thompson, the person supposedly fooled again.
Yikes. There was a time I had grudging respect for CHB, but that time is long gone.
