    Well, kids . . . Why don't you stop the group groping and get back on point. Friedman's putative revisionism aside.

    Isn't that the point of Glenn Greenwald's post, that "putative revisionism"? I wouldn't call it "putative," since that suggests that Friedman consciously revised his position; I think he simply ignored what he wrote in the past and hoped no one would notice. You'd think he wasn't aware of Google (or Glenn Greenwald, for that matter).

    P.S. I like to grope.
