"After careful review, Salon's editors have decided to take down from our Web site an article titled "Tom White played key role in covering up Enron losses" that we published on Aug. 29. We took this unusual step because we have come to the conclusion that we can no longer stand by the story in its entirety. Though we have corroborated most of the reporting in the article, some unanswered questions remain. "

I assume this is why Scott is busy today.  I know basically nothing about journalism as a art/business, so I'll let others comment further, but its good to know Salon is responsible, and openly brings to light this issue on the front page, instead of it getting buried somewhere.  This is why I've supported Salon with subscriptions and this weblog, and you should too.

If you don't, who will?

When I started this weblog, I wasn't sure what I'd use it for.  I was mainly concerned with supporting Salon in any way I could to keep it around.  I subtitled it "Security, Music, and Movies" because these are three things I enjoy a lot, and figured I could comment intelligently on. 

However... I've always enjoyed talking and reading about politics, world affairs and such.  I just didn't feel a need to burden you, the weblog readers with it.  That changed however, when the "War on Terrorism" became the "War on Everyone With Oil."  So, now, rather than just reading the articles I used to read, I'm sharing them with all of you, along with commentary where I might have something intelligent to say (not too often thankfully ;) )  Besides, I get bored waiting for something interesting to happen in the Music/Movie/Security world ;)

As such, since I've noticed some grumbles from readers that they aren't getting what was advertised, I've changed my subtitle a bit.

Just in case you were wondering...
