“In discussions with a wide array of sources in reporting on the story, there were no indications that they were connected to or working for the Cuban government.”

…Daily Caller reporter…

Oxymoron, or just mischaracterization? Daily Caller fantasist?

I can categorically state that they were not smoking Cuban cigars nor did they have accents or beards. Nor were they driving a 1958 Chevy.

“I talked to two of the prostitutes," he told Wemple at the time. “I saw their faces, I heard their voices.”

Was that before or after you ate the peyote buttons?

Boyle should spend more quality time with those prostitutes that might keep him from lying for a minute or two each day.

But did he confirm that they were really prostitutes by purchasing their services?
