Pending Correction by the Washington Post
A correction for the record:
"A Deadly Web of Deceit" in the Washington Post dated January 10,
2008 article states "Wells posted the Drews' names and address on her blog".
I published only Lori Drew's common name.
I did not myself reveal her address, or publish it on any post, or comment authored by me, on my blog, or ever in fact provide it, myself, to any other person.
I also published a screen capture of a police report from CNN, which named Drew as well, but did not contain her address.
Comments not authored by me did appear in my then unmoderated comments section, containing her publicly available contact information. These were widely distributed on other weblogs and sites. They appeared on other, more widely-read blogs, before any appeared on Bluemerle blog.
I will keep this post bumped pending correction of the article.
