Since the partial apology is rather short, I thought I'd just post it here and save people the trip. If you want to read the comments, some of which are interesting, see the link a few posts above. <br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>The Rove Indictment Story as of Right Now<br>By Marc Ash,<br>Fri May 19th, 2006 at 04:23:39 PM EDT :: Fitzgerald Investigation<br><br>On Saturday afternoon, May 13, 2006, TruthOut ran a story titled, "Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators." The story stated in part that top Bush aide Karl Rove had earlier that day been indicted on the charges set forth in the story's title.<br><br>The time has now come, however, to issue a partial apology to our readership for this story. While we paid very careful attention to the sourcing on this story, we erred in getting too far out in front of the news-cycle. In moving as quickly as we did, we caused more confusion than clarity. And that was a disservice to our readership and we regret it.<br><br>As such, we will be taking the wait-and-see approach for the time being. We will keep you posted. <hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br><br>This "apology" admits only two vague things. <br>They "erred in getting too far in front of the news-cycle" and they "caused more confusion than clarity." <br><br>Quite mysterious. My speculation would be the comments refer either to the fact an indictment was submitted to the Grand Jury by Fitzgerald, but Rove has not actually yet been indicted by the Grand Jury OR for some other reason Truthout has been burned for spilling some of the beans prematurely. <p></p><i></i>
