-Caveat Lector- I think this is unfair and overblown. I saw the segment on television where she explained how she thought this had happened, and it was a very credible explanation. She has taken every step to correct this and has been sincerely sorry about it all. Ms. Goodwin must be a threat to someone for this matter to be made into such a huge deal. As always, good guys have to walk the straight and narrow path in every aspect of their lives while bad guys can get away with anything. This is typical libel-ops IMO and I ain't buying into it.
