The source hasn't gone back on the story, just that he is no longer sure that the reference to the desecration was in the specific document he originally named to the Newsweek reporter.

So, you know, it's not the same thing as going back on the story. Sorry, no Dan Rather falling on his sword over some technicality this time. |
