Quid Est Veritas?


Salon recently published an error-filled post by Alex Pareene on the Brett Kimberlin saga. An incomplete correction has been published, and Aaron Walker has a posted a correction to the correction. His summary goes like this:

No, there isn’t two versions of the truth. There is simply the truth… and what Kimberlin said about it. Or more precisely there is the truth and 1) what Kimberlin said on January 9 when filing charges, 2) what Kimberlin said when filing his petition for a peace order, 3) what he said in an email to my lawyer that night, 4) what he said in court on April 11, and 5) what he has said since the video came to light.

It’s a long post, but you should read the whole thing.
