The original version of my Monday column, on what I’m calling “Scooter-gate,” contained a number of errors involving dates, which I have now corrected. I have also added a significant amount of new material — so much that it is, for all intents and purposes, quite a different piece from the original. My apologies for the errors. For those who have read the original, I would caution that the first half, except for the material about Ahmed Chalabi, is pretty much as I originally wrote it. It’s when we get to the timeline, however, that most of the new material comes in. My apologies, again, for not getting it right the first time, but I think that the new material at least partially makes up for it. I have to say that doing a timeline intermixing the events of disparate investigations now taking place in the Bush administration clarified, at least in my own mind, just what is going on.
At any rate, check out the new version: “A Second Take On Scooter-gate.”
