It's worth noting that on June 29, 2008, the Frederick News Post ran an article about Duley and her use of the anti-addiction prescription drug suboxone in her 'practice' (specifically, her 'support groups') at Comprehensive Counseling.
There is nothing newsworthy in the article. Suboxone has been available by prescription since 2002.
The article featured a photo of Duley, holding a bottle of suboxone. Never mind that she's not a doctor and cannot prescribe suboxone or that any drug treatment is well outside her scope of practice. Yet the paper talks to her like she's an expert. Clearly, the FNP didn't do much digging on Duley -- if so, they would have discovered her own history of substance abuse, which would make her less credible.
Given that Steven Hatfill settled on June 27, 2008, it's very curious indeed that Duley is suddenly appearing in a newspaper as an expert therapist on June 29.
Whose idea was this article? How did Duley come to be the expert source? When did the FNP first contact Duley about an interview?
