I have been a contributor to SPLC for years and this information is a
surprise to me. So I thought I would check out the latest "intelligence
Report" and read this for myself. The latest issue is dated Sept 2003 and
is not a "newsletter", but a 65-page news magazine. It contains no "Special
Report" section that I can find, nor any of the information mentioned
above. Could you please be more specific about the issue number and date
and the page numbers where this can be seen?

Thanks,

Kent Yates
