[Title was edited to comply with space requirements. Full, accurate title is: "Controversial Obama Administration Official Denies Being Part of 9/11 "Truther" Movement, Apologizes for Past Comments"
A top environmental official of the Obama administration issued a statement Thursday apologizing for past incendiary statement and denying that he ever agreed with a 2004 petition on which his name appears, a petition calling for congressional hearings and an investigation by the New York Attorney General into "evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur."
Van Jones, the Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, is Number 46 of the petitioners from the so-called "Truther" movement which suggests that people in the administration of President George W. Bush "may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war."

It took about a week in the waiting at FOX, before the other talking heads there started to touch the issues that Beck has now dugged up!!!
You know, you wouldn't want to point out who you're actually talking about in the headline... It might actually attract some attention!
I looked for NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC... Nothing!! Not even a mention of him.
It is rather a bit much how I had to edit the headline, something that’s usually, and quite properly so, a super no-no here on FR.
Translation: " I'm lying when I apologize for calling Republicans a**holes, and I'll be lying any other time I try to sound like a rational, sane person."
