Mr. Gerhart,

We will remove this article and other we come across with
public_affairs at misc.pentagon.mil as an unverified email address.

The site is based on "open publishing" in which anyone can publish
without establishing an account and the content management system has
no facility for filtering posting based on claimed email address.  As
such we cannot actively block this typy of posting and must rely on
reactive methods.

We are an all volunteer organization and do not read 100% of the
postings to the site.  While we will make all reasonable efforts to
remove misuse of your email address we cannot promise perfection in
this regard.

If you discover postings we have missed please forward teh URL to our
editors at boston-editorial at lists.indymedia.org.
