There they go again, fudging history. Rita changing statement - TPM

You just cannot trust these guys.

They shift before your eyes.

This afternoon I got an email from TPM reader
MM, pointing to parts of the statement which
seemed more specific and definitive than I'd let
on. I didn't remember those parts of the
statement. So I went back and read it again.
And when I did I realized that the statement had
changed.

Yet, it's not listed as a new statement. It still
carries the same May 15th, 2004 date, implying
that the current version of the statement at the
DOD website is the one that ran originally.

Specifically, the revised version adds a new first
sentence and a new final sentence, both of
which appear to go further in denying Hersh's
claims than did the original.

Now, I didn't copy the original. But
GlobalSecurity.org did copy it. So you can
compare the original archived at their website
and the new embroidered version, both carrying
the same post date.
