DTOM seems to be at least a central source for this event. They initially quote a primary source--the radio interview with Raub's mom. Much of the commentary there seems relatively level-headed and rational in comparison with some of the other 'patriot' sites that have picked up on this one.

Breitbart tends to spin a bit, but is generally accurate. American Thinker and National Review get high marks for reliability and accuracy as well.

Cryptogon was my initial contact with the story:

Another of my main sources seems to be backing away from this one:

US Marine arrested, allegedly for his “patriotic facebook posts”. ***But actually because his FB page is psychotic***
Posted on August 17, 2012 by Eeyore

New information is that his facebook page genuinely does show material that should be of concern to authorities in some ways. This person likely needs a psychiatric evaluation if indeed one can be justified at all in the interests of preventing a mass killing as we have seen recently. I think it is important to look at this incident in the light of what his facebook page did say, which from what I have been told would be a red light to anyone.

In the light of free speech absolutism it should still not be grounds for arrest. But a psych eval doesn’t sound like such a bad idea.

I will likely delete this post in the next 24 hours.

Eeyore.

I don’t know what, if there is one, the back story is. Based on the Obama administrations cooperation with the Istanbul process and their willingness to use punitive measures against Americans who insult Islam (see Rev Jones) it would not surprise me if this is as advertised.

Is 'Dont-tread-on-me' a credible source for what actually happened ?

The long term conservative - not whacked out conservative, but folks like you and I - that's what I call credible sources. Brietbart hypes a bit - but I consider a source like them to be credible.

Everything I saw posted last night was based on the mother's 'interview' on that show - While she may have been telling the truth - don't know her from adam.

As for the two sources you mention - mentions by them would actually LOWER the credibility - lack of information, indeed, mis-information from them.

Americanthinker, Littlegreenfootballs ....

Was NOT trying to give YOU a hard time about any of this, Due - appreciate the heads-up on a story that definitely is NOT making any of the news outlets - not even the minor ones. The only reason for mentioning the RP stuff was that last night, they seemed to be primary source for any info at all on the issue - and their info was based on what the mother had said on air - they really had nothing to add.

What to believe anymore ? Beats me.
