<\/a>Alex Babcock, editor and reporter at Florida’s Seminole Chronicle<\/i> has just filed a tremendously good story on the explosive Clint Curtis allegations<\/a> which we originally broke here<\/a> last week!<\/p>\n

Finally! A smart and thorough print media account of this extraordinary story! And in Tom Feeney’s hometown paper no less!<\/p>\n

And as if that isn’t good news enough, unlike previous coverage in both Wired Magazine<\/i><\/a> and The St. Petersburg Times<\/i><\/a>, Babcock does not allow the “outside general counsel” to Yang Enterprises, Inc (YEI) to skate on their scurrilous charges made against Curtis several days ago!<\/p>\n

<\/a>As we mentioned in several previous stories on this, YEI’s attorney Michael A. O’Quinn of “Fowler and O’Quinn P.A.” had made a general statement<\/a> over the weekend smearing Curtis as “a disgruntled former employee” and claiming that his “allegations are categorically false.”<\/p>\n

What both Wired<\/i> and St. Petersburg Times<\/i> failed to point out in covering O’Quinn’s statement was that O’Quinn — as well as being a campaign contributor to Feeney along with Dr. and Mrs. Yang — is also Feeney’s former law partner<\/i> from as late as 2002 when the firm was known as “Fowler, Barice, Feeney and O’Quinn P.A.”!<\/p>\n

Babcock does not make the same mistake, and responsibly offers some context for Feeney’s long-term association with O’Quinn as his former law partner.<\/p>\n

While Babcock was unable to pin down O’Quinn in regards to any supporting evidence for the “disgruntled former employee” charge — one that so far seems to have zero basis in reality, and which was notably dropped from YEI’s “formal statement” on the matter<\/a> issued last Tuesday — Babcock does<\/i> somewhat speak to O’Quinn’s all-new suggestion that Curtis is “motivated by money”.<\/p>\n

He points out that Curtis has stated, as also confirmed in an interview with RAW STORY<\/a>, that he has no interest in the $200,000 reward being offered by Justice Through Music<\/a> for evidence of vote fraud in 2004.<\/p>\n

In regard to Hai Lin Nee (a\/k\/a Henry Nee) who Curtis has charged with adding “wiretapping routines” to software that YEI built for NASA and other projects — and who was indicted and plead guilty to espionage charges<\/a> earlier this year — Babcock notes that YEI “said that the man named by Curtis as the recipient of NASA-related information has never worked for the company.”<\/p>\n

Babcock did not note, and the information may have come too late to meet his deadline, our report yesterday<\/a> which revealed “Weekly Time Reports” and several emails indicating that Nee did, in fact, work for the company.<\/p>\n

We hope Babcock will follow up soon in that regard, as well as continue to report on this topic. To that end, I’d hope that you folks would send a quick email to the paper thanking them for their coverage, and encouraging Babcock — and Michelle Yoffee-Beard who also contributed to the story — to continue to report on this very troubling story! (The same, by the way, is true for any<\/i> of the reporters who prove courageous enough to get the truth out there on this issue!)<\/p>\n
