At first reading, I was wondering is this a think piece or is it real. Based on her twitter account, it appears it is real: "You don't believe my story? Ask any of my followers about my credibility. Then kiss my ass. Thanks." https://twitter.com/inthefade/status/362890947165564928 https://twitter.com/inthefade/status/362890947165564928 What do you guys think?

Seems to have difficulty keeping her word just talking to someone: ============ @jsin you're the only one doubting me, dude. Michele Catalano @inthefade 17h To clarify, they turned out to be a terrorist task force, not FBI. I wasn't home, my husband and son were Michele Catalano @inthefade 16h Going silent on the issue now. Michele Catalano @inthefade 16h @jsin How the hell is it hearsay when it happened to ME? 4h ============ I don't think credibility like this can be meaningfully established by polling someone's twitter followers. How would they know if it were true or not? I suppose if they've not been caught in a lie before, it's less likely that they're lying this time. But how persistent is their identity, how many do they have running at the same time, is it just a case that all the people who think they're lying have left? And are all the ones that question just banned? -shrug- I doubt the story. Whether it's a lie or not -shrug- It's not totally outside the realms of credibility I suppose, but her word alone isn't sufficient evidence.

  Huh? That's not an article from Yahoo. That's a syndicated reprint from Atlantic Wire. And if you actually read it, you'll see that it contains no original material except, "This is what someone else said."
