Rangergate, Day 4: Okay, maybe there is a little more "news" to milk out of the Micah Wright "scandal." Publishers Weekly (subscription required) weighs in with a brief comment from Seven Stories publisher Dan Simon, who canceled Wright's second book, If You're Not a Terrorist ... Then Stop Asking Questions "after being notified several times since last summer that Wright was lying about his background":
"Wright had maintained he was telling the truth, providing what Simon called 'fuzzy photographs that were supposed to verify his military service,' but when a Washington Post reporter last week informed Wright he was planning to expose his claims and reveal he was never in the military, Wright then admitted he was lying, according to Simon. The publisher then cancelled the book."
