WM: That's the problem. A journalist does not third person quote. He
calls the person so quoted (in this case McLaughlin) and asks him if
that's what he said. He doesn't just print it. McGreevy could have
mis-remembered what McLaughlin said. He could have attributed to
McLaughlin something said by another person, or he could have his own
agenda.
