An email of thanks; Open thread!


I received this email yesterday from Youth Today expressing their gratitude of linking the article of former DOJ official Michele DeKonty being fired in the growing OJJDP scandal. Former OJJDP employee and whistleblower Scott Peterson notified me that he sent over 3,000 email to individuals linking them to the article. On Thursday alone, there was so much traffic to the blog according to the sitemeter. I received more than 100+ individuals ranging from the DOJ, Congress, and so on that visited this site and read that article. Thanks to you all for visiting. Here is the email from the editor of Youth Today newspaper. Youth Today were the ones who uncovered this scandal and brought this to Henry Waxman's attention:

Hi, SP. Just wanted to thank you for the “hat tip” regarding the DeKonty story.

As a small nonprofit paper, we’ve been overlooked by many websites which have cited ABC, which has done good work but followed us by several months and aren’t not the ones who prompted the congressional probe. So I and my two full-time editorial staffers very much appreciate the credit.

All the best,

Patrick Boyle, Editor
Youth Today

You go SPB you always give the correct up dated information now you see who's looking and paying attention. I always come to your blog for the info on information that others don't cover. Most wait till the information becomes headlines as you give facts from the beginning.

I thought Amy Winehouse sounded a little off, and the man deserves the original.
