Re: Hatfill and Duley timing issue

Steven Hatfill settled on June 27,2008.

On June 29, 2008 this article -- http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display.htm?StoryID=76902

-- appeared in the Frederick News Post. The article is about Duley and how she uses suboxone, an anti-addiction, prescription-only treatment in her practice.

This article is interesting because it could represent an attempt to give Duley a public profile as a 'therapist'. Duley is referred to as the "program director at Comprehensive Counseling Associates in Frederick", although it does not say what her level of licensure is, or if she has a license at all. Moreover, as suboxone is available only by prescription, it seems odd that the reporter is discussing this treatment with Duley as an expert.

There's also nothing newsworthy about suboxone. It was approved by the FDA in 2002.

I'd like to know the genesis of this article. Who suggested it? Why did the paper consider it of interest to their readers? And how did Duley -- who is quoted and even appears in a photo holding a bottle of suboxone -- become a source for this piece?

Great work Glenn. Let's make the legs grow longer on this one.
