The Reality-Based Community: Truthout backs off

It's possible that Leopold's sources have given him some assurances, or possibly proof, to save themselves from his revenge.

It seems very unlikely that Leopold would be the victim of a hoax, make the promise of burning his source and then not do it, though. This cryptic statement makes it appear that Leopold and Truthout continue to believe in their story, since they opt not to retract it.

In another forum, the editor of Truthout claims that the story has three independent sources. Perhaps they, like me, couldn't believe that Truthout would have 3 sources where nobody else had more than one (at least, Leopold claims one of his sources is a source for the networks too), and figured that the big nets would give them the corroboration that they so obviously need to be believed. They didn't get this corroboration -- thus they got 'too far in front of the news cycle.'

Leopold was never going to burn his "sources"; he was either going to wait it out, blame Karl Rove's Evil Machinations, or pick three names at random from the White House web site and let them deny it.

However he chose to play it, he was quite correct in expecting that the left would play along.
