PO,
I would have to agree that Bennett should run from pursuing any lawsuit again the Times, but how would requesting a retraction do anything but help clear up a story that could hurt McCain's bid for President?
Given the allegations against McCain's honor and character, I would have thought that a retraction from the Times would have been desirable. McCain had an affair with his current wife while married to his first wife and if the latest allegations prove to be true, it would severely impact his chances to become President. His honor and character would not be par with the office of President of the US.
It would be best for the country if this matter was sorted out before he was elected, IMO.
