Bechtel's PR chief points to the actual rebuttal (PDF only; alas) to the Globe's hatchet job, which I linked to a couple of days ago. The Globe has kind of vaguely alluded to the existence of some document that Bechtel may or may not have produced. Well, voila. Thanks, Mike.

Corey Flintoff Unleashes Sonorous, Pleasantly Modulated String Of Obscenities
WASHINGTON, DC-Upon injuring a toe Sunday, Corey Flintoff, newscaster for NPR's All Things Considered, unleashed a string of rich, pleasantly modulated obscenities. "God fucking dammit," Flintoff warmly intoned after dropping a heavy-duty router on his foot while working in his garage. "Stupid fucking cocksucking son of a bitch." Added Flintoff in a lush baritone: "Goddamn motherfucking shit-for-brains. This is NPR." Next-door neighbor Cheryl Thomas, who overheard the tirade, said Flintoff's delivery was so melodic, she was unaware that he was swearing.
