Let's not beat each other up over this Truthout/Rove Indictment thing. [View All]

If the Truthout story turns out to be correct, then I'm sure we all agree that it's huge news. If they are correct, then kudos to Truthout and to Jason Leopold for getting the scoop.

But at this point it should be fairly obvious to everyone that until there is some independent confirmation in other news sources, then it is only natural that there is going to be some disagreement here on DU about whether the Truthout story is correct.

All I ask is that we all keep these two points in mind:

    - It is totally understandable that some people trust Truthout's story, and believe it is true.
    - It is totally understandable that some people remain skeptical until they get independent confirmation.

This is not a litmus test issue. Progressives are not required to believe or disbelieve Truthout. Feel free to disagree with one another, but let's not demonize our fellow progressives simply because they hold a different opinion on this.

Thanks.
