MORE DEBUNKING OF WINGNUT DSM DENIAL

My letter made it also!

In response to the June 29 online letter to the editor from Wayne Boettcher:
Wayne Boettcher states, "Now would the Star also cover the fact that Michael Smith, the original British journalist who brought out the memo, had retyped it and destroyed the originals, completely discrediting the contents?"

This is a popular misconception among those in denial about the import of the memos.
As Smith has clearly stated, the "originals" he refers to are copies he made of the official government documents.
Smith returned the government documents to his sources after he copied them, so the original government documents still exist.
Then, in order to protect his sources, Smith had the memos retyped. Smith then destroyed the copies he had made of the original government documents.
