Truthout is one of the best sources for information on the internet
and Will Pitt is one of the best writers.

3. TruthOut: Where facts only get in the way of a good story
This is it. This is their one shot at the big leagues. And it's over.

4. Let's just say they're more trustworthy than the WaPo
who has been covering up and aiding the Bush administration since it took office.

13. They got had. They jumped. It happens. Then you learn. And even if
you know you are dealing with tricksters and know you are emotionally engaged.. you can jump, fall, be tripped, fall flat on your face again.

You learn to take a deep breath before each and every thing. Take a deep breath and step back. But you will be tricked again. You will fall for something.. even having learnt the hard way.

Up is down. Right is left. In is out... it takes a while to get into that groove. Cause it isn't normal.

We humans.. we are used to discernable reality. We have to discern even harder than we ever though we would have to.

14. You don't have to jump in so deep.
It happens.
Shit happens.
All people make mistakes, have bad days.
One story doesn't change everything.

15. I agree. We all get fooled sometimes. Look at the Iraq invasion.
Nothing Leopold did compares to the misinformation given to support the Iraqi invasion. No one was killed by Leopold's misstep. Keep this before your mind's eye. Well over half of an entire nation was fooled into believing that we went into Iraq because Iraq was an imminent threat, had WMDs, for regime change, to spread democracy and freedom and they are still being fooled today into believing that the US military sacrificing their lives in Iraq are doing so for a good and noble reason. It's all a lie and it's still being perpertrated and supported and people are still being killed. And you folks want to scourge Leopold for being fooled on a possible Rove indictment? Hell, Rove could have been indicted and still found "ot guilty." GET A GRIP DUERS!!!

16. No one can even demonstrate Leopold is wrong
We have yet to see any evidence that Rove wasn't under indictment at some point. In fact, all evidence so far indicates he is working a plea deal right now.
