Reply #34: oh, I don't mean to say he cannot be wrong [View All]

not by any means. I am not a Will Pitt suck up, by any means. The guy has a pretty good track record dating back to his book with Scott Ritter. I am just not willing to condemn Marc Ash, Will Pitt and Truthout for a catastrophic mistake that, in the end, was Jason Leopold's doing. I see too many people making excuses for Leopold, and it's not Will Pitt or Marc Ashe's fault that the guy wrote that story. It is their fault for backing him up, yes, but the lion's share of the blame here rests on a reporter who printed something that he could not absolutely verify. I mention my story about interviewing Will to say that, at least in my dealings with him, he has been an honest and credible guy.
