So the UMass student and the media members (Molly Ivins, the Drudge Retort, NewsMax) who claimed that a book on a domestic security "watch list" had triggered intimidation of the student turned out to be lying.

The hysteria over this story was absurd, and the story itself was so absurd as to have been unbelievable on its initial presentation. Yet everyone bought into it. Why? The Prowler personally blames those folks who are on the payroll of the ACLU and those feed into the pathology of the MoveOn.org types. The years of lies and misrepresentation are clearly paying off. Why the Attorney General specifically and the Administration in general don't focus on ensuring Americans understand the laws that are protecting them is beyond us.
