APOLOGY TO GEORGE BISHARAT

Concerning my blog "Ignorant or Intentional" (6-16-08), George Bisharat notified me that he is not a member of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) or the International Solidarity Movement (ISM).

Accordingly, I apologize to Professor Bisharat for including incorrect information about him in my blog.

I have always tried to be correct and truthful in my blogs. I certainly did not intend to include any false information about Bisharat. I have revised the blog by deleting the sections on the NLG and the ISM and changed the title to "Editors Fail To Expose Op-Ed Writers With An Axe To Grind."

While I have strong differences with Bisharat's take on the Israeli-Palestininan conflict, I am, nevertheless, obligated to ensure that any information about him in my blog is factually correct.

Thanks, Professor Topkat. We obviously disagree fundamentally on some issues, but I accept your gracious apology, and respect the fact that you did so publicly. My best wishes.
