OReilly

["Patrick Osborn, MD" <Patrick.Osborn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just saw his show and someone sent in an email prompting him to rip into
Pete.  O'Reilly declined on the basis that nothing yet has been proven.
Also, he discussed it last night.  They mainly focused on what should be
done with pedophiles.  He typically, though he can be a prick, sticks to the
facts and is balanced in that fashion (though he may have acerbic opinions
on the truth).  He might be a good email hit for someone with the Different
Bomb postings and accurate knowledge of what charities Pete's worked with.
