Hi ABC News,
It's great that you have finally issued a retraction for your erroneous anthrax/bentonite reporting that helped to propel Americans to support the Iraq War. Thanks. I would be more impressed if you would identify the four highly-placed sources who fed you the faulty information -- I mean, they damaged your credibility as a news organization. Failure to identify them will prove that credibility and integrity are not your primary concerns even as ABC News now hypes Iran's nuclear capability (again supported by those highly-placed sources -- maybe even the same ones who gave you the wrong story about bentonite way back when).
As President Bush said, "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice . . . won't get fooled again."
Thanks,
xxxxxxx

p.s. I live near Disneyland and have small kids, but I doubt that I'll ever take them there. After The Path to 9/11 and this stuff coming out of ABC News, it makes no sense for a patriotic American like me to give your company my financial support. I hope other sensible Americans come to realize that Disney and ABC have become right-wing shills and reach the same conclusions that I have. You'll have nobody to blame but yourselves.
