Meanwhile, back at the ranch, PA's response to its writers who have written it about the recent news stories indicates they've taken lessons from former Iraqi Information Minister Muhammed Saeedal:
Dear Xx. Xxxxxxx, We have had no bad publicity; quite the contrary! We have had a huge piece of very positive publicity, all across the nation! And, a huge recent surge in popularity as a result! Since you are a local author, if you were to visit our office, which you are very welcome to do, you would soon see the article framed and prominently displayed for all to see. The Washington Post story is local, largely false, and relatively insignificant, and was quickly and easily refuted. We encourage you to read our public reaction to it at http://www.publishamerica.com/PaulaSpanRebuttal. Our comments on the much more balanced Associated Press story, plus a link to the story itself, can be found at http://www.publishamerica.com/NationalNews. We are very happy that our positive story is being told all across the nation. You have every reason to be proud of your publisher, like your 11,000 peers. You may find a small sample of their reactions here: http://www.publishamerica.com/testimonials. Your tone is very inappropriate, especially in light of all the positive publicity that we are receiving. No one has treated you with anything but honesty and respect. But please tell us how you feel that you were "lied to and deceived," and what the "other truths" are to which you refer. be aware that paragraph 24 could be invoked for my book Also, please consult a lawyer prior to sending nonsense like this. No, paragraph 24 may not be invoked, unless PublishAmerica decides to do so. When you revolutionize an industry, you are bound to make headlines. As a PublishAmerica author you are contributing to changing the publishing industry, and the lives of tens of thousands, in a very positive and meaningful way. All change breeds resistance. All pioneers have their detractors. Fortunately, PublishAmerica has not had much in the way of detractors, and they have not had any effect on us at all. In fact, since the articles have come out, we've seen an increase in interest in PublishAmerica, and a flood of positive messages.

Again, please tell us what you feel that we have done wrong, and we will be happy to consider your request. Thank you! PublishAmerica Author SupportP&E has heard that PublishAmerica Author Support also claims there are no American military units in Baghdad. Could that also be true?
