re: I spent the last 4 hours or so listening ( rosebowl was right!)

I understand that they released the response, and that was not improper, and I may have misunderstood, but you referred to a direct quote from Lewis, but he is not identified by name in the response. Is he directly quoted in the response?

I know it isn't hard for folks to deduce whose name was redacted, but if folks in the university are identifying him by name to third parties, that seems to violate the spirit, if not the letter of the rule.

But perhaps more concerning, I have also seen reference to claims by at least one Ole Miss poster that Merkel has a copy of Lewis' statements. If that is true there would seem to be a clear violation by someone presumably associated with Ole Miss.
