There is an air of complete insanity in the air tonight as I look at Memeorandum. It seems that Salon's resident sockpuppet is trying to expose a possible sockpuppet in the US military. Yes, Glengarry Glen Rick Ellensburg Glenn Ross Boy From Brazil Greenwald is trying his hand at IP tracking. (My god, this is a threat to none other than Nick Danger, Third Eye.) Frankly, I'm not going to link to GGREGRBFBG's 4,000 word windbaggery excursion. Jules Crittenden did, brave soul (are your shots up to date, Jules?). But if you bother to wade through the absurdly long post over at the Greenwaldian Logorrheum (and you should wear boots) you'll be exposed to a raging sockpuppet trying to prove someone else is a sockpuppet.
Yeah, Salon, you got your money's worth there.
Glenn Greenwald
UPDATE: Others: Marc Moore (At MVDG Gazette): "Everyone who disagrees with Greenwald, it seems, is a hack, an incompetent, a tool of the right-wing conspiracy that denies him the ability to make his world view a reality."
Bits Blog: "In short, there are likely a million different networks operating in the same address range as the one you think is coming from Iraq. Good luck proving it came from there… or for that matter proving it didn’t. I myself operate several such networks, and another few in the 192.*.*.* range."
A Second Hand Conjecture: "And Mr. Rick Ellensburg or Wilson, or Greenwald or whoever you wish to go by, when I say you are dishonest, paranoid and a propagandist, I mean it in the most civil and professional way."

I think that Salon is doing this on the notion that it takes a thief to catch a thief. But since the Sockpuppet Master has every incentive to deflect attention for his own “activities”, Salon may be the one taken to the cleaners. Remember Beauchamp and The New Republic!
