[[img23967]] In the bewildering situation touched off by Jason Leopold 's article asserting that Karl Rove had been indicted on multiple counts in the CIA Leak-Gate scandal, I wrote an article on Monday expressing support for Leopold. I was criticized by the Right for suggesting a conspiracy theory, and criticized by the Left for having the temerity to suggest that Leopold may in any way have gotten it wrong, even if by being fed disinformation.

It is now 12:39pm on May 17, five days after the publication of Leopold 's article on Truthout. I spoke a few moments ago with William Rivers Pitt who reassured me both that he and Jason were not offended by my Monday article and that they stick by their assertions 100%. I can not tell the entire contents of the conversation as much of it was off the record, but as a result of it, I am going to hold off further speculation until the end of the day on Friday, May 19, or until, how shall I put it, events obviously dictate otherwise. I thank my readers for being patient until then.
