I'm a journalist (editor of

a weekly business/technology publication) working in Hong

Kong, and I happen to be Dan Tennant's brother.

While I personally agree

with much of what Sallie wrote and share her concern

about the message that this "one of our own"

business sends out (and have told Dan so), this piece

certainly should never have been written without speaking

to Dan first.

Dan is not the person he's

portrayed to be in this article, and Sallie would have

found that to be the case had she bothered to speak with

him.

I would never have let one

of my writers get away with that.

No wonder Dan is fed up

with us "liberal journalists." He's one of the

good guys. At least give him a chance to prove it to you.
