Interesting piece on the Karl Rove drama

With so much misinformation out there concerning the Karl Rove/CIA leak scandal, an op-ed by Robert Kuttner titled "Second thoughts on leak case" (http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/07...), helps clear up some inaccuracies and raises some interesting questions. If you care at all about the current controversy, I would suggest giving it a read.
However, beyond being a good overview of what is going on, it made me really respect the author. Apparently, the week before he had published a piece disparaging the special council in the case, claiming that Patrick Fitzgerald "might be protecting the Bush administration." Well since publishing that piece, he has done some further research and concluded that maybe his original assessment was a little off. He then proceeds to apologize for the mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and a good person will own up to them. And I want to thank Mr. Kuttner for doing just that.
