Wilson did not deny the entire allegation. THIS is what he backtracked on: "I don't have any knowledge that Karl Rove HIMSELF was either the leaker or the authorizer of the leak."

THIS is the part that Wilson mis-stated:

"In one speech I gave out in Seattle not too long ago, I mentioned the name Karl Rove," Wilson told GMA. "I think I was probably carried away by the spirit of the moment."

Wilson then confessed, "I don't have any knowledge that Karl Rove himself was either the leaker or the authorizer of the leak."

Wilson insisted, however, "I have great confidence that, at a minimum, condoned it and certainly did nothing to shut it down."

VERY SCARY example of yellow journalism.
