I just went to wikipedia and looked up the man named "Siegenthaler" Ken mentioned and didn't find an entry, until I noticed from the two other sources Ken had posted that the name is actually "Seigenthaler" ;-) Never trust a single source... --u P.S. At the end of the wikipedia entry on Seigenthaler it now reads: "Between May and September 2005, a biographical article on Seigenthaler carried by the encyclopedia Wikipedia contained incorrect statements to the effect that he might have had some involvement in the John F. Kennedy assassination and Robert F. Kennedy assassination. The comment, added by an anonymous editor, prompted Seigenthaler to write an op-ed in USA Today on November 29, 2005, in which he stated that "...Wikipedia is a flawed and irresponsible research tool...for four months, Wikipedia depicted me as a suspected assassin." Seigenthaler said that he had tried to determine the identity of the anonymous editor but had been unable to do so since "Congress has enabled them and protects them"-a reference to Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which states "no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker."[6]"
