My letter to Rosenblatt:
Mr. Rosenblatt, I am outraged by your further spin of the story behind the Gafni story.
Having been the person who assisted in tracking down two of the survivors and having a substantial knowledge of the process behind your story on Gafni, I can say without a doubt that I was horrified by your conduct in the reporting of this story and have lost much of the respect for you that you earned with the Lanner story.
Unlike the above self-serving dreck you’ve written over the past weeks, your true conduct raises serious questions as to your journalistic conduct, integrity and treatment of Gafni’s survivors.
I doubt at this point that you will make full disclosure, but the truth is a funny thing, it tends to come out regardless of the spin. Actually the truth often comes out because of the spin. Truth is funny that way. So am I.
Your sugar coating of the reprehensible actions of Naomi Mark, Saul Berman and others is only part of the story.
All must be told so this never happens again.

You should add Gary Rosenblatt's name to this list.
Um, hello? How can you call for the extradition of someone when there isn't even a case?!? Women filed depositions with the police but that's about it...no one's bothered to press charges, and nothing is moving forward on the legal end of things.
It takes a very serious crime to warrant extradition (i.e., a particular brutal murder); it's completely implausible that someone would be extradited for having sex with a student or employee. So this call for extradition (especially in the form of a petition from these people) is just silly, and undermines the more serious issues this case raises.
