Army Doctor LTC Terry Lakin Successful In Demand For CNN to Retract Defamatory Statements. Jeffrey Toobin Withdraws Vicious Statement He Made About Lakin Says He Never Intended Them To Apply To Decorated army Doctor. Lakin appeared on the "Anderson Cooper 360" program with his lead counsel, Paul Rolf Jensen on May 7, 2010. A few days later, CNN aired on the same program a panel discussion with three lawyers, the purpose of which was to discuss LTC Lakin and his case. During that program, the following colloquy took place between Messrs. Cooper and Toobin, and a photo of LTC Lakin was displayed during Mr. Toobin's remarks:

COOPER: It is sad, this guy has given 18 years of service, apparently served honorably, was a doctor, and then seems to be tossing out his career for this. I mean there are principled stands you can take...

TOOBIN: In your interview you kept saying what an honorable man he is. You know, as they say at the Supreme Court, I think I dissent. You know, these people are bigots, they're racists, they're freaks, they're lunatics, these are not rational players in American politics...

LTC Terry Lakin has tried in vain to get the same verification from our President that he has been asked to provide countless times in his career, for many jobs, and to obtain a security clearance for the trusted positions he has held within the U.S. Armed Forces.
