Today the McCain campaign held a conference call unveiling a new “truth squad” Web site designed to defend McCain from attacks on his military record.

It’s interesting how three different media outlets managed to come up with very different numbers for the same fact.
NYT:
The Justice Department announced Friday that it would pay $4.6 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Steven J. Hatfill, a former Army biodefense researcher intensively investigated as a “person of interest” in the deadly anthrax letters […]
