Yesterday, we reported that Condi -- in what may have been a first for a Bush official -- admitted a mistake.
Well, turns out that report was wrong. Condi now says she didn't admit a mistake...or she won't admit that she admitted a mistake.
The Chancellor of Germany stated that Condi said the U.S. made a mistake, but Condi's people disputed it:
Mrs. Merkel said at a news conference that Ms. Rice had admitted making a mistake when the United States abducted a German citizen, Khaled el-Masri, on suspicions of terrorism and held him in detention for five months. But aides to Ms. Rice scrambled to deny that, saying instead that Ms. Rice had said only that if mistakes were made, they would be corrected.Of course George Bush's chief diplomat could never admit the US did something wrong -- even if it means calling a top ally a liar.
