THE GUARDIAN EXPLAINS ITSELF on the Wolfowitz matter, which it calls a "nasty slip."

I have to say that although the Guardian's publication of that story -- and of the erroneous Jack Straw story the same week -- demonstrated a certain over-eagerness to believe the worst about people it doesn't like on the basis of extremely weak evidence, its response has been very admirable.

UPDATE: Roger Simon says I'm too kind to The Guardian.
