I'm reading online now that the Whitehouse is refusing to accept a mere apology for this fiasco, never mind that we are supposed to give them a pass for acting on trumped up/erroneous reports themselves. Their actions have hurt far more than this story has, and God help them if anyone from the inner circle is implicated in this.
