is to pull a real name and location from the phonebook or internet...make it a medium-size city or smaller to lessen the risk of that person being widely known...RWers had been getting away with it for years until they started getting sloppy and real people came forward to deny the comments (most notably with veterans pimping the GWOT)...

I'm not saying that isn't the real O'Connell; just some food for thought...
