5. LIke the original source, your subject line requires a "?"

It ain't done until the lying POS formally resigns. He does not appear to have done so at this time.

12. That's Why it Says Wolfowitz TO Resign

[hlthe2b]

18. excuse me? You are reporting it as fact....

ABC is projecting that he will resign. The question mark in their headline indicates it is NOT FACT. It has not been confirmed. Wolfowitz MAY resign.


Here is how it is being reported:

I certainly hope it is true, but we owe it to each other to be accurate, don't you think? :shrug:

29. update: Wolfowitz will not resign per lawyer 5/16 8PM

Seems that question mark WAS needed after all, eh FrustratedL? Not to beat a dead horse, but moderators-- when they are not so busy-- DO delete posts that do not accurately convey the facts known at the time or accurately replicate the headline from which the story is drawn. That's why I tried to get you to change your subject line. I wasn't trying to be a pain...:shrug:

The World Bank official that wrote that was laughing to himself as he penned the comment for release.
