If he shows them how he did it, the Times should totally hire him — at least as a freelancer.

It was the 5/18/98 issue of The New Republic that ran the column "Washington Scene: Hack Heaven", about a high schooler making money doing exactly what Lamo was attempting, that finally raised enough suspicions about Stephen Glass that others started to scrutinize his work and he was fired. He may have been a "fabulist", but he was prescient.

I don't know if it'll be in reruns but I noticed The Screen Savers did a live phone interview with him on Friday as he was debating whether or not turn himself in. It was interesting to hear his perspective and you definitely hear the fear in his voice. Worth hearing if you can track down the episode.
