156. Hillary Clinton supported it and still does.

Which is better, to have been for it, then realize you were wrong, and admit it? Or to have been so, very, tragically wrong AND in a position of power to actually VOTE for and FUND such an enormous and tragic error of judgement and to never admit to being wrong?

You realize that if Greenwald had not written about his transformation from right after 9/11 when a lot of Democrats had a knee jerk reaction, then later regretted being sucked in, no one would have ever known what he supported since he was not even a blogger until 2005.

I'm not getting your point about this at all. I have always been thrilled to see people admit when they are wrong.

You are not telling us anything Greenwald himself did not tell us. So what are you trying to say? That, like Hillary eg, he should NOT have changed his mind, or should have kept it to himself?

It really is scratching the bottom of the barrel to play 'gotcha' with something the person themselves is quite proud of and has written about. It just doesn't work, other than to remind people that we have so many Democrats who sadly STILL support, not just THAT war, but are now itching for another one, in Syria.

I admire him for being open to the fact that he was wrong. That is my reaction always to anyone wiling to admit a mistake.
