The Blog, The Press, The Media: Fishing Expedition
The Internet in general and the blogosphere in particular are a means of harnessing open-source information. So we'd like to invite the blogosphere to help answer some of the questions Thornburgh and Boccardi left dangling.
1) Which spy agency Professor Bunyip works for? Friends of Five Ways offer $1 billion reward ... (smile)
2) Who is Michael Smith? The report identifies him only as a "journalist" in Texas.
3) Who is George Conn? When Burkett first spoke with CBS, he claimed that his friend Chief Warrant Officer George Conn was the source of the documents ostensibly damaging to President Bush, but that Conn would not confirm this if pressed. Only later did Burkett change his story.

What you may not know however is that the movie was based on a short story in a book by the name of Rope Burns: Stories From The Corner by the late F.X. Toole (aka Jerry Boyd). Back in 2000 Toole gave an amazing interview on Fresh Air about spending the last 20 years of his life as a cut man and the last 40 years of writing while trying to overcome his fear of rejection before getting his first book published at age 70.

• · · · To blog or not to blog? That's the question Brad Feld, a managing director at Mobius Venture Capital, asked himself last year before launching his personal Web diary, dubbed Feld Thoughts. He wondered if anyone would be interested in his musings about bear watching in Alaska, the latest movies he's seen, and, of course, what it means to be a venture capitalist.
