Looking at the Reddit legal mumbo jumbo, it appears that you can't cut and paste out if it, so if you have comments you want to post on ATS, you should paraphrase the content.
Reddit legal stuff
Kind of ironic that the creator of the Creative Commons license, Aaron Schwartz, doesn't allow a website he founded to be under that license. I'll leave it up to the moderator to pull this post if they think there is a legal issue.

I read that book, I thought it was pretty interesting. Sure the child-UFO thing was kind of out there but the history and information in the book seemed factual to me. This is a subject shrouded in secrecy so it's nearly impossible to say if the SR-71 facts were accurate or not. I remember a newspaper article about one of the people quoted in her book being upset over the child UFO theories, but what's more interesting is that a former Area 51 worker is being picked up by the news at all while area 51 is still being denied by the government (or at least was for over sixty years, not sure if they admitted it yet or not).

So you're only allowed to talk about that book if you're ridiculing it? Just trying to understand the rules.

Yes, there is a strict one-book-ridicule policy in effect.
Just kidding - feel free to ridicule anything she has written.
Like the, was it Syrian?, musical group that she was convinced were terrorists.
You know you've made it as a journalist when one of your articles is quoted on Snopes.

What we need is a project similar to the UNLV NTS Oral History project for Area 51 and the TTR.

Incidentally, I knew about the "terrorist" incident, but didn't know Jacobsen was one of the disinformation agents. She simply has no journalist standards.
