Many politicians who voted to authorize the war still refuse to admit that they made a mistake. But they did. And even though this page came down against the invasion, we regret now that we didn't do more to challenge the president's assumptions.

It's hard to tell for sure if this is just a tactical political manuever or a measure of true intellectual honesty on display. (Perhaps it's both.)

To the extent it's the latter, I find it interesting that the public probably has Jayson Blair to thank for (indirectly) bringing about this new approach.
