A Retraction of "Retraction"

By Jeffrey Goldberg

Sep 3 2008, 2:24 PM ET Comment

It has been pointed out to me that The Jerusalem Post does not, in fact, retract its previous story about Joe Biden. What it does is run his denial, and acknowledge, in its story, that the "Army Radio report was unsourced and did not name any of the officials to whom Biden had purportedly spoken." The story goes on to assert that "Biden has a solid 36-year Senate record of pro-Israel leadership. He has called Israel 'the single greatest strength America has in the Middle East' and declared himself a Zionist in an interview with a US Jewish television channel last year, saying that 'you don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.'"

It's not a retraction, but it is, in a way, an endorsement.
