Ellanot-

Thanks for getting in touch and for your efforts in advancing this story. I've already posted it at Huffington Post, for which I write regularly, and have sent out queries to several publications as of last night. I will also contact the other sites you mention. If you happen to know of any others in addition, please go ahead and contact them on my behalf.

Thanks again,

I have a bit of correspondence history with Tom of www.TomDispatch.com , and with Juan Cole. I sent them leaks to your site's story on the Wikileak attacks. I will tip Marcy Wheeler of EmptyWheel. (spin-off of FireDogLake.) (If she likes it, then I'd guess FDL will know about it.)

May I suggest that you write a "normal news" (professionally written type) article for submission to:
www.CommonDreams.org
www.truthout.org
huffington post

I think that even if you just succeed in getting published on CommonDreams, the other two may pick it up. Oh, and you might also send CrooksandLiars.com a link to your article. I think they do all their own writing.

If you get that "normal news" type article written, perhaps good to send to Keith O and Rachel M. And/or put a call-out in your next DK diary that people notify them.

Not that you have nothing else to do, so forgive me if this seems like I'm trying to use you as a remote-control robot. My intention is to work the contacts I have myself, and to send ideas to you, which you may or may not already have had.

I found out about this due to your original article on your site, someone else sent me the link. Thank you for that.
