On July 7, I wrote a post, Major General Buckman, Urban Legend describing an email bearing his name that concerned Iraq news coverage by ABC News Correspondent Martha Raddatz.
As I stated in that earlier post, I felt the email in question had the signs of an urban legend.
I called Maj. General Louis C. Buckman on July 11 and left a message on his home answering machine.
He returned my call today when I was on another line. His message was short and to the point: “I did not author that email … absolutely not.”
The email is, in essence, a forgery, disinformation designed to discredit Martha Raddatz.
The truth is now clear.
And, oh yes: here is the craptcha that the Google censors gave me for this post.

And just how do you prove your
phone call FROM or TO MG Buckman?
Well, I suppose I could ask for his permission to post a .mp3 of the voicemail.
But then, I suppose one could question that as well.
If your doubt goes that far, then perhaps you should call him yourself. His phone number is not that hard to find.
