Not even a mini-scandal, as it
turns out. Media Log reader K.W. points me to this
InstaPundit item.
Apparently the
identical letters started
with one soldier who asked his buddies to sign it.
InstaPundit Glenn Reynolds writes
that "it seems that the letter isn't bogus after all." Uh, well, not
so fast. When a bunch of newspapers receive a form letter that's not
labeled as such, purporting to be from their hometown soldier when it
really isn't, that's still pretty bogus.
But it does seem that there's no
organized campaign behind this.
By the way, Reynolds pleads guilty
to reading-comprehension problems. That's what led me astray,
too.
