I look forward to reading this story Mike in Salon.

As usual, you have done a great job.

I second Marvin's request! Sure would like to read the interview, Mike.

Regards,

Sam

Mister Biggs

Reading it will be nice but listening to it was priceless.

Are you going to post the audio, Mike?

Hi Mike,

Yes, the little bit I read on the site whetted my appetite for more. I want to read or hear the entire interview.

Why should my friend, Mr. Biggs, be the only one who can hear it? It's just unfair.

Please let us know when the entire interview will be available.

Great job!

If anyone would like more details about the interview, email me privately at [email protected].

Please understand that I must treat my source materials with great care, so that I do not jeopardize the series of articles that I have been working on since March.

Thanks,
Mike Pence

Mike,

If I can make a suggestion. Get your articles out in Salon first before you distribute your information around.

That is where your priorities are and that is what I am looking for.

I would love to share the interview with everyone, and maybe eventually I will. But, I did not explicitly request permission to distribute audio of the interview over the net from J. R. Brown, only permission to "use its contents for publication."

Ethically, it just does not feel right to go posting it to the net. I am sure that I am covered legally, but I am bound to a journalistic code of ethics, as well as my own personal values.

I have sent it to a few close friends. I did this to gather feedback and to assist in writing the article. I don't see how that is any different from inviting friends over to my house to listen to a recorded conversation for the same purpose, but I cannot spread it any further at this point for the aforementioned reasons.

Plus, this could jeopardize any future interview prospects with Watchtower officials, which I do not want to do.

I would also like to ask those who have heard it to refrain from discussing it on public internet forums like this one.

Thanks for understanding.

Mike Pence

Understood, Mike. I, and I am sure others here, do not want you to compromise your principles. Please inform us when and where your published articles are availble.

Thanks,

Sam
