| CORRECTION |
| |
| We mistakenly quoted
Texas Senator Kay Bailey
Hutchison calling for
accountability from top White
House aides Libby and Rove by
saying, "Something needs to
be said that is a clear message
that the rule of law is intact
and the standards for perjury and
obstruction of justice are not
gray." In fact, when Senator
Hutchison made the remarks, she
was calling for accountability
from President Clinton in 1999.
More recently, in regard to
accountability for Libby and
Rove, she referred to perjury as
a "technicality." We
regret any confusion caused by
our error. |
