Reply #255: It might be a long wait

I have a feeling oceans will turn & mountains will fall before Leopold ever retracts that story. The most I'm hoping for is no new "updates." If you look at his past, he has never apologized for any of the erroneous stories he wrote - even after the editors did. And in this case, Truthout ran Leopold's ridiculous "sealed v. sealed" story w/o bothering to do the most basic fact-checking; knowing he had only one unnamed source, knowing Leopold was changing the story. In Ash's explanation, he doesn't even get the right indictment date - he says it was May 10th, when Leopold's original story said May 12th. The whole thing seemed very hastily-written & badly edited. Why release it at all? It makes me think they were more interested in CYA than in actually finding out the truth.
