It turns out to be more tangled than previously thought.

Mike has the goods on a local University professor who is apparently peddling a “sloppily borrowed lie.”

This is my favorite part from the first episode:

I mentioned Rev. Donald Sensing’s site as a good place to learn why there will be military preparations (appropriations, contracts, supplies, materiel, new construction, etc.) long before a draft is put in place, but he warned me against taking information from the Web. Of course, he later encouraged me to some websites (moveon.org and others), and when I joked about his change of mind he let the conundrum pass unaddressed.

Now it seems the professor couldn’t help himself and was in violation of his own advice. Comparative drafts here, with (seemingly) plagiarized lines in yellow.
