Follow-Up

OK, it's Monday and it's been busy--and the Newsweek retraction isn't really a retraction, but yeah, I didn't point out the following, as noted by Kos:

"It's puzzling that while Newsweek now acknowledges that they got the facts wrong, they refused to retract the story," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. "I think there's a certain journalistic standard that should be met and in this instance it was not."

"The report has had serious consequences," McClellan said. "People have lost their lives. The image of the United States abroad has been damaged."

Hmmmm..."got the facts wrong, people have lost their lives, and the image of the Unites States abroad has been damaged." Sounds kinda familiar.
