In a claim related to more recent events—that World War II double agent Dusko Popov gave the FBI evidence of a planned attack on Pearl Harbor and Director J. Edgar Hoover ignored the warnings—the book errs on both counts. Popov brought no warning, and what he did bring, Hoover gave to the War and Navy departments.

So Denis Collins is a conspiracy nut. Who let the kooks in...Fitz...Fitz...Fitz...Who let the kooks in...Fitz...Fitz...Fitz...

Could Denis Collins have been dishonest when being questioned for jury selection, or were Libby's attorneys just plain incompetent? If Collins lied, this verdict should be overturned and a new trial should be held in some place other than Washington DC!

I wonder if this juror was responsible for the other juror recusing herself? She said she had been exposed to something that tainted her objectivity. Could this knucklehead have introduced something that he was privvy to as a member of the media?

A guy who has trouble getting the facts straight ends up being the spokesman for the jury.

The libs keep ecstatically crowing about this clown being a former Compost reporter - maybe it's time to find out why he's a former reporter. Was he maybe too left-wing and prone to lying for even the Compost to take?

Rush said this morning that he got word from someone that the jury pool was so full of MoveOn.org members that the Defense simply ran out of presumptory challenges to get rid of biased jurors. Guess it wouldn't be too hard in DC to frontload the jury pool with BDS crowd.

Imagine the CIA noticing that the "facts" are wrong. Tsk!

Oh yeah. Reining in the CIA has been a losing battle
since Bobby Kennedy. Maybe even earlier. Great tag line.

Errors of interpretation, for one. When my students read Chaucer and think that the knight being described as "meek as a maid" means meek as a servant (instead of a young girl), they have not made an error in fact, but one of interpretation.

Errors of interpretation or understanding (see almost any layman's explanation of the Schroedinger's Cat thought-experiment as evidence) are not as egregious as errors of fact. A layman might easily miss the significance of a detail that might mean much more to a specialist, but to get a basic (and easily verifiable) fact wrong shows a carelessness that is much worse...

Rush asked the same question and the story he told today is that the defense ran out of challenges for the other DC loons before they came to this guy.

You make a good point, but the FACT of what was written was true.

What was 'interpreted' was a FICTION in the readers mind.
