You would be right Joseph but in this case there are details you may not be aware of.

Don Lattin has partecipated in some Cult Awareness conferences, like the AFF conferences. He has heard about the Cog/Family for a LONG time and from several people.

He asked me for an interview a few years back and he got no end of details in a long conversation sitting face to face.

So, in many ways this does not compute with what you say that could be true of another reporter, but not him. Personally I am not sure where he stands in his contacts and connection with current Family members and am not sure he is the kind of guy who wants to make any ripples aside from writing his piece. In person he comes out as very personable, but I have a lot of reservations about how he uses the research material he gets.
