I was going to post that during Senator Zell Miller's speech last night at the GOPConvention dot COM, he misquoted a poem by Father Denis Edward O'Brien, USMC A Guadalcanal Veteran of WWII, 11th Marines, and the Chaplain for the 1st Marine Division Association (the It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech quote). However, I have found multiple versions of the poem such as the one from SID-SS dot NET. I then discovered there are multiple versions of the poem, some attributed to Charles M. Province, Founder and President of The George S. Patton, Jr. Historical Society (PattonHQ dot COM) who appears to be the true author.
I thought this was going somewhere but instead it seemed to be a waste of time instead of an underhanded way of picking apart Senator Miller.

Anyone have other alternative stories?

September 1, 1939 by W. H. Auden from Poets dot ORG.
Rumor has it (according to P.J. O'Rourke on Uncommon Knowledge dot ORG) that Auden later disavowed the poem.
Auden on Bin Laden By Eric McHenry at Slate dot COM, Sept. 20, 2001. A much better source on the whole disavowing business.
