I HAVE A STALKER: THE LATEST 21st  CENTURY PROFESSIONAL ACCESSORY

I have a stalker (or perhaps more than one) complete with a freshly opened FBI case file.  My stalker is posting threats on a website to which I contribute and using Wikipedia and perhaps other venues to generate misinformation about me.

I guess I should be honored.  In 2008, if you are a journalist or you are outspoken on any topic -- I am both -- then I guess you are not doing your job unless the FBI is investigating at least one of your stalkers.

Mine is particularly disturbed by the fact that as an alumnus of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, I have helped organize a group of alumni and other concerned citizens to conduct an ongoing protest of the University's decision to invite and permit Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak on campus last September 24th.

I've made no secret whatsoever of my involvement with this group, which calls itself Bnai Haman.  Indeed, I have posted at the Columbia Spectator and other sites using my real name, unlike most of my critics and most Ahmadinejad-Bollinger supporters.

As anyone who knows me well already knows, most of my father's family perished during the Holocaust and he was interred at Auschwitz, so I'm quite familiar with the potential consequences of letting Ahmadinejad speak unchallenged at my alma mater.

My stalker seems to feel that my affiliation with Bnai Haman is sufficient reason to make threats against me and to try and rewrite my role in the group.  Some people will believe my stalker.  Many people believe Ahmadinejad and share his view that this world would be a better place without Israel, which the Iranian leader wishes to wipe off the map.

I take my stalker serious.  That is why I have provided the FBI with full details concerning his/her threat and why I believe my stalker stands a very good chance of being caught and prosecuted.

Although he/she may wish we lived in an Islamic state such as Iran, where force and terror rule, we still live in the United States where speech is free, except that which threatens the well being of another or libels him.

My stalker has done both.

Just to let him/her know that the FBI and I are very serious, we already think we have two of the IP Addresses he/she is using to make threats:  67.102.0.169 and 67.101.192.4.  If these are your IP addresses, don't be too surprised if you get a knock on your door in the near future from an FBI field agent.  These folks are very good at what they do.  As am I.
