To me, it doesn't really matter whether or not Gannon is Gosch. But for some reason, a lot of clues have been left to connect the two. Johnny D. Gosch = JDG. James D. Guckert = JDG. Jeff Gannon (is his middle initial a 'D.' as well?) is a possible JDG. Jeff Gannon's name is similar to James D. Gannon (then editor of the Des Moines Register, who published Noreen Gosch's letter on page 1 in 1982 to discredit her): another JDG. On another DU thread, a DU-er noted that Gannon posted (on his jeffgannon.com website) a reference to 'JDG17,' a popular way of citing Bible verse. Judges 17 tells the story of a boy who was stolen from his family to live in a foreign culture.

It's almost as if someone wants us to connect the two. Many have said this effort is some sort of Rovian attempt to discredit left-wing bloggers, but why would anyone in the RW want to unearth long-dormant pedophile scandals, especially given that they lead back to RW leaders?
