Griffin regrets being misunderstood. He doesn't withdraw his opinions. The higher you go in US scientific agencies, the greater the terror of expressing any policy-relevant opinion. Griffin was trying to do his job as he understands it. As a consequence he said ridiculous things.
The most interesting aspect of all this is that Griffin was blindsided. The idea that studied ignorance could be unacceptable is a novelty in the Washington science establishment.
