More interesting developments. Follow the earlier link to CQ blog. It seems Mr. Stephens failed to disclose his rather close relationship with the WEF. In fact, he just went through the nomination process (run by Queen Rania of Jordan) to become one of the WEF's 'young leaders of tomorrow' one of whose board members is none other than Eason Jordan.
Wil, you make a good point.
Blank, that is indeed quite interesting. That would certianly be something to question the WSJ on, for sure.
The responses, though few in number, are finally up. I'll be boastful and note mine is included, second to last one. Which is nice, because usually if I respond to something that is controversial I usually 'send a copy to myself' but I wasn't awake enough to do that today.
Another funny note "defamatory (or slanderous, or libelous) innuendo" was actually tonight's Tournament of Champions Final Jeopardy. So I think that I, along with many, if not most, readers of Stephens' piece may have mis-interpretted him a wee bit on that.
But, as I say, it was very confusing, and I'm still not sure.
