If they said that was wrong & admit it, that's a good thing. But is that what they said? How was the 24 hours "misunderstood" - is that saying it was incorrect, or just that it was "misunderstood" by readers? That seems weasely to me, like the apology for "getting out too far in front of the news cycle" (whatever that meant). Now, there's another update, w/no new information. How about the rest of the story? The indictment, shutting down Patton Boggs, Rove's Secret Service detail (impossible), the plea negotiations, etc. etc. If they want people to move on, all they have to do is retract the story. And they should have done that a LONG time ago. I have to think, at this point, that it's sheer arrogance & hubris that's preventing them from admitting they made a mistake here. Mistakes happen, but the best way to move on is for them to just admit it - not string people along w/"updates" & changes & partial non-apologies & new details to try to explain the discrepencies. It's just unprofessional.
