FoxNews Infotainment Libeled the Tehran Times

by Edward Campbell (the_destitute [at] hotmail.com)
FoxNews infotainment shockjock Scott Norvell commented on an article he never researched. Without contacting me, the Pentagon or the CNRRC he comes to the conclusion that naming a webserver "gestapo" merely suggests that one is a "geek" and not a white supremacist.
I wonder what cracker jack box this cracker got his press credentials from, but apparently he doesn't even know the article was published in the Tehran Times and the Muslim Observer. This trash talking flunky hasn't even researched this article. I don't want his job. I want my job with his pay!

Proof Positive

An Iranian news agency, Mehrnews, is in a tizzy because some geek at a Navy recruiting center in News Orleans, La., named one of the office computer servers "Gestapo."

The agency says the discovery suggests a pattern of harassment and cyber-stalking of Muslim journalists and is proof that the U.S. military is overrun with neo-Nazis (search).

A spokesman for the Pentagon said the server was named Gestapo (search) some six years ago by an unknown computer tech. Lt. Mike Kafka said the server name "directly violated Navy policy" and was disconnected.

He said the name "implies no affiliation with any group."
