At the time of Markoff’s original July 4 story, I was wanted only for violation of my supervised release, yet the story left readers with the impression that I was a supervillain, a threat to every American. His account of my arrest now ignited a fire under the rest of the media. The item was picked up on Dateline, Good Morning America , and God only knows how many other major shows. My capture was all over the news for three days straight.
