What a sad story. I'm glad to know that innocent men won't be dragged into a line up for this woman to "identify" but it is still very sad that she came up with the idea in the first place.
Good article and I'm glad she fessed up. I just published an article about how I knew she was lying at first glance. Unfortunately, Ashley's story was never all too convincing...or original. Poor souls like Ashley have DEEP issues.

Truth? What truth? We may now find that the McCain campaign will say that cops who support Obama, beat poor Ashley until she recanted. John McCain knows in his heart, that Asley is telling the truth... and no failed lie detector test, or beating by cops, will force him to change his mind, my friends.... :-)
Good to see that the truth has come out.
