"The Dun & Bradstreet database of company names lists a firm that is called both Brewster Jennings & Associates and Jennings Brewster & Associates."isn't that odd. does anyone have D&B who can check out the exact reference? Are they the same company with different names? different companies, same address?
I'm surprised the wingnuts haven't gone apeshit over that fact - mocking how stoopid the lefty eurofags in
* this too is too cute from Novak when he outed
"A footnote: In July when he revealed himself as author of a report commissioned by the CIA, Wilson sought a book agent. After being turned down by a prominent agent, he has now found one."that's the footnote to a 2 para article. also note novakular's odd description of Wilson: "author of a report commissioned by the CIA" wtf?

One thought:
D&B serves as a business database compiler. As a name like "Brewster Jennings" might possibly be searched under another name as "Jennings Brewster" or, more likely, "Jennings, Brewster" (lname, fname), it wouldn't be unusual to have a dummy entry under the latter with a note like "see 'so & so'". Wikipedia, for example, has several spelling variations that re-direct to the same listing.
In a situation like that, Novak is factually correct that there are 2 (or more) database entries for them, just not mentioning that they refer to the same company.
None of which detracts from the fact that just because the public has knowledge of the front company doesn't necessarily mean it's public knowledge that the company is an operational front.
Oops, he does mention they refer to the same company, just not why both names might appear.
If he knows...
Yutz...
right - its weirder than "(lname, fname)" right?
and it's also weird that i never knew this till now. or to quote libby "it's as though i was learning it for the first time"
