Oliver Kamm previously noted the use of the pernicious Wolfowitz "it's all about the oil" hoax quote in an anti-war bulk email called "Were we lied to?"
Now he's been phoning up the activist group's Management Committee, demanding that the record be set straight, publishing an open letter to the guy who signed the email, and generally making an inspired, deadpan nuisance of himself.
He recommends a new bulk email bearing the title "'Were we lied to?' Funny we should have phrased it like that..."
I love Oliver Kamm. His blog rules.
Sorry, had to be a little fan girl for a moment.

Posted by: Jackie D at June 21, 2003 09:54 PMI have to admit, Jackie, that the 7th grade notebook to which I referred was merely the 7th grade notebook of the mind. Alas. I believe it also bears the legends "Disco sucks," "Free Keith Now," and "I'm taking this nerd to the GAP."
