Note: Please follow the links and notice that the story HAS KEPT ON CHANGING. And as was pointed out, Mattis CAN NOT and/or WILL NOT provide a copy of the "settlement" or the "court order" or whatever. Chalk one more up to urban (or would this be rural) legend. ------Original Message------ From: "Steve Washam" To: APFN ONELIST Sent: January 22, 2000 9:09:09 PM GMT Subject: [apfn] (Fwd) CHECK FACTS re: WYOMING SHERIFFS From: "Steve Washam" The commentary referenced below: Incrementalism on steroids http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_metcalf/20000117_xcgme_incrementa.shtml ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- From: "Steve Washam" To: "Geoff Metcalf" Date sent: Sat, 22 Jan 2000 11:15:35 -0800 Subject: CHECK FACTS re: WYOMING SHERIFFS Copies to: "WND News Team bcc" Mr. Metcalf, One of the things I love about WorldNetDaily is the way reporters check their facts and contact original sources before going "live" with a story. Unfortunately, your recent commentary of January 17, 2000 was an exception to the rule. There are some wonderful things happening in Big Horn County which indeed should receive better exposure. However, by re-posting what is essentially internet rumors the cause of truth suffers -- not just for you, but for everyone associated with your outlets and the effort for freedom and local control. Here is the source for the material you used, without checking facts for yourself: http://www.cybersurf.co.uk/~johnny/sbt/wyoming.html Here are two additional articles about the same situation, also from 1997: http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Shores/4190/fedsout.htm http://www.valint.net/php/sew/can/CAN00010.TXT You will note that although they all purport to deal with the same situation, the facts are reported differently. My suspicion is that the first report listed above, the one which generated so much interest when recirculated recently, is somewhat embellished. It always amazes me how much interest is generated when the local control option comes up, but how little people are willing to do to come up with documented facts. Thanks for reading.
