Gee. If only she'd parked outside Andy Card's house at a time when he was home. Because you certainly can't blame her for her failure to warn him in person prior to the event. I mean, she waited for hours. What else could she possibly have done?

That said, I'm not jumping to any conclusions about how actionable or verifiable the rest of her story might be. It's not out of the question that she has a good reason for unfolding the story gradually. It just seemed worth noting how little whistle and how much blowing is going on in the story as she's told it so far.

Man, you can really fuck up this site.

Anything new here? I didn't see it. Long on drama, long on chaff, short on wheat, and a game of "pin the tail on the semitic people it was all them". I doubt there were peoples of most colors and flags involved, but this seems like focused misdirection and concentrated blame, as it leaves a few colored folks out. White is a color too ya know? I'm not maligning her character though, people deep in this game are under a lot of pressure.

Exactly.

Is Lindauer innocent, a useful idiot or an actual disinfobot? I can't really tell. But the fact that she had NY Times coverage is enough to make me wonder just how blatant, if the third possiblity holds, disinformation can be. I expect the NY Times to run stories about Palestinians eating Israeli babies, about New York megalaw lawyers earning $180k to start being the new "neglected class" and about the Great Oriental Menance. I just did't expect them to give press time to someone I'd pegged as a Finnegan's Wake-meets-The Castle psychiatric case.
