Well Steve, it doesn't even take a rocket scientist to know that bias can and
will come into play in almost anything you read.

You won't believe me and I'm not asking you take my word for it -- he used
the interviews with the only 3 men he spoke to -- the first three. Should he
have kept going until he found someone who disagreed with him? I don't think
so, there were people all over the place who disagreed with him, most of them
anonymous -- claiming credentials. Kent found three guys with the
credentials, knowledge, experience and the BALLS to use their REAL names to
refute the pro side.

What do you call the beginning? I can tell you he was not convinced until
after he saw it. He didn't think that aliens would be so similar to us (they
even had fingernails and toenails) but he sought out opinions on that as
well. No, he didn't present contradictory opinions to that idea, because he
wasn't writing a paper about the pros and cons.  If you want to read the pro
side, you know where to go.

It was never presented as an impartial examination. I do know that Kent
really would have liked the autopsy film to be real. I know that for a fact.
Of course, he was probably misleading me (as Roger thinks) when he told me
all those things and spent his own time and money trying to find out.

I can tell you honestly he was forewarned by numerous people what this could
and would cause. He couldn't in good conscience keep his new beliefs and
findings quiet. Frankly, I wish he would have. But he did what he felt is
right.

So shoot him.
