While I don't begrudge her the money, the choice of a questionable
ghost writer, released from the NYT for by-lining a story written by a
free-lancer means the whole project will be discredited.


I agree, and I have a problem with the whole thing really. Like you, I don't
begrudge her the money, but there are mitigating circumstances to her "hero"
status to begin with. Personally, I feel she would have been better advised
everything considered, to refrain from being suckered into this deal. It has
lawyers and shady dealing written all over it.


The NYT writer is an honorable man. His point that the NYT "never" allowed
any writer to list their sources. Saying that the use of others while necessary,
was a dirty truth best left out. This fact was glossed over in the hype.

Jesse's story will be ancient history in a year, and she needs a writer who can
get it into print as early as Christmas. After that, she might as well be that
woman who was kidnapped and buried alive. What was her name? Yea,
I know, who cares... Ancient history...
