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.

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.
