:::::::::Who then was a gentleman? asked to whom I was addressing a comment above (I think that's what the question is about). My comment was sparked by the earlier remark "I don't know what washingtonindependent is, but they're quoting Cook's attorney, the not-quite-reliable Orly Taitz, so her claim that he's been fired from his civilian job needs a better source." and by the ChrisO comment "Regarding Taitz's claim, we're not endorsing it; the article currently says that "Cook was reported" to have been sacked. That's factually accurate." AFAICT, the claim was made, and was sworn by Cook to be accurate. Yes, the article does stop short of asserting that Cook made the claim.    (earlier Boracay Bill)
