| A Pirate Tale - Takedown story |

| Note: This is NOT the viral email attributed on various blogs, Media (doesn't) Matters or Snopes. I spent some time looking into this. I await comments Forwarded FYI. This sounds like the real story as it fits with other accounts but makes more sense. Your "Real" story is not exactly the way I heard it, and probably has a few political twists thrown in to stir the pot. Rather than me trying to correct it, I'll just tell you what I found out from my contacts at NSWC Norfolk and at SOCOM Tampa. |

| #2 Neglected source. My bad. http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2235156/posts I found it on Atlas Shrugs, linked to FR. This account (story?) has mostly been overlooked due to Gertz picking up the mostly debunked viral email that preceded it. I believe the author refers to that viral email in the opening statements referring to it as "...'real' story is not exactly the way I heard it...". |
