#1 This could be a sign of the Apocalypse, or of the unravelling of the very fabric of the universe. First Molly Ivins admits error; then next thing you know, CAIR will condemn Palestinian terrorism, John McCain will introduce a bill to repeal McCain-Feingold, Markos Zuniga will pledge support for the Bush administration, cats and dogs will start living together, school cafeteria lunches will taste good, . . .

#4 The high-end estimate of Iraqi civilian deaths in this war is 100,000

Also wrong, Molly. As some of read here a few days ago, the estimate had a 95% confidence of being between 8,000 and 198,000. A pretty big range.

But now, Molly admits she had lept to unsupported conclusions to justify her pre-conceived position. Gotta be a first time for everything!

#8 I was certainly under no illusions regarding Saddam Hussein,..

No illusions, but guilty of taking his potential for barbarity far too lightly.

Really? When was that, Ms. Ivins?

#11 #6 Bobby - that's what I thought when I saw the headline.

I think the picture is most appropriate.

#15 Waitaminnit, something's missing here. Where's the big BUT? There's supposed to be a big BUT at the end of this. You know, like "Saddam Hussein was an evil man who killed millions of his own people for pleasure, BUT Chimpy McHalliburton lied in order to secure oil rights for his frat buddies." Sounds like Ivins needs a vacation.

#16 mhw, that article reads more like damning with an inverse apology than actual admitting that he was truly wrong. He accuses that jailed NYTimes reporter of being a White House stooge, for goodness' sake!
