Horowitz does what Canadian Cynic cannot

And that is admit error:

Conservative firebrand David Horowitz admitted he misrepresented a complaint by a University of Northern Colorado student against her instructor.

Horowitz has been outspoken about faculty bias on college campuses around the country. He has been telling a story about a UNC student who refused to answer an essay question, which Horowitz says asked her to "explain why George Bush is a war criminal."

Horowitz claimed the student received an "F" after she wrote an essay explaining why Saddam Hussein was a war criminal.

As it turned out, the student did not fail the test, which allowed students to choose one of two essay questions -- neither of which included the phrase "explain why George Bush is a war criminal."

Criminal justice professor Robert Dunkley said it's frightening how far Horowitz has taken the incident without doing thorough research.

Uh, yeah. Cuz the left never, ever unquestioningly runs wild with unsubstantiated stories.
*cough*100,000 dead Iraqis*cough*
Right?

So anyway, one has to wonder if CC will admit error in mindlessly and completely believing this bogus account of Saddam's capture (satisfyingly debunked here) after having a massive virtual orgasm over Horowitz's admission.

Yeah, I don't think he will, either.

UPDATE: Horowitz has issued updates here and here.
