Bob Cooksey

I'm just guessing "dad" didn't think this was the right guy for his daughter.

The honeymooner quarantined with a dangerous strain of tuberculosis was identified Thursday as a 31-year-old personal injury lawyer whose new father-in-law is a CDC microbiologist specializing in the spread of TB.

The father-in-law, Bob Cooksey, would not comment on whether he reported his son-in-law to federal health authorities. He said only that he gave 31-year-old Andrew Speaker "fatherly advice" when he learned the young man had contracted the disease.

The CDC had no immediate comment.

I can't stop thinking about this. F-i-L must be involved, somehow.

Hi, Added a new value add to my blog this weekend - a news widget from www.widgetmate.com. I always wanted to show latest news for my keywords in my sidebar. It was very easy with this widget. Just a small copy paste and it was done. Great indeed.

I can't believe that the news media is so myopic and gullable. It is obvious that there is a link between Speaker's TB and his father-in-law. Why isn't being exposed??
Have you heard anything new in the last few weeks?
