Humint Events Online: "Fairbanksing"

"Fairbanksing"

A new term to me:
A gratuitous fabrication in a story when the truth would have served just fine.


Kind of ironic given that one of the only few 2nd hit videographers to go public with his story early on was Evan Fairbanks.

And he gave his camera to the FBI and they gave him back a copy of his tape and kept the original. Looks like Fairbanks never saw the original!

is that the same FBI that said 84 vids taken near the pentagon show no sign of a 757 having crashed there on 9/11?
or is that the same FBI that says they have no evidence of bin laden's involvement in 9/11?
or is that maybe the very same FBI who is on record as having been behind the '93 wtc bombing.
good old FBI.
they should probably stick to matters of copyright infringement or such.

Yeah, their "YOU WILL GO TO PRISON IF YOU COPY THIS TAPE MESSAGE" is the most impressive thing I've ever seen from them. I understand that J Edgar Hoover guy knew how to party though.
