Ah, the old cui bono question...
Well, let's start building a list.
Surely, traffic will increase to Wayne's web site and some of that traffic may consider coughing up the $7/month subscription fee to see the "inside scoop". I did, about two months ago, and get access to lots of non-WMR gibberish peppered with an occasional article of interest, as well as a 48-hour advance look at what will be circulated. (Some don't honor or get a dispensation from the 48-hour curfew. HE WAIVED IT IN THE LIBYAN COVERAGE.) In my case, it all gets 'filed' along with the other 50-60 sources I tour two to three times a week, the most interesting of which may get posted somewhere.
Interest in WMR's books will drive some traffic to his publishers, TrineDay, among them, where they will encounter other interesting material such as "Fleshing Out Skull and Bones", Hank Albarelli's " Terrible Mistake", Cheri Seymour's "The Last Circle", and a collection of essays written by a deceased Professor Emeritus of Literature at the University of Hartford, Connecticut whose forward was written by ... well, gee... and thus obtain a more thorough education, speculation, informed analysis of the forces --particularly those involved in the post-1947 security/intelligence apparatus known as the US of A.
The public surely benefits, getting exposure to at least one more informed source and the opportunity to follow their curiosity through its full spectrum (if they know what that is). [Eric Booth has it in his book "The Everyday Work of Art".]
Is Madsen the end-all-and-be-all of information? No, of course not.
But can we afford to reject him and put him in a dark, remote corner in a world given over to opacity and covert governmental behavior?
