Josh Rogin comes clean on Kerry tape

• http://www.politico.com, By DYLAN BYERS
 Rogin's reporting on the address exposed Sec. Kerry's now famous remark about Israel being in danger of becoming "an apartheid state" (Kerry has since said he should have used a different word.)  It also led Trilateral Commission chairman Joseph S. Nye to write a personal letter of apology to Sec. Kerry, in which he apologized for Rogin's presence.

Rogin actually didn't do anything wrong in taping the event. Because he was not invited, he was not bound by the off-the-record agreement made by other guests. But given that he didn't do anything wrong, you have to wonder why it took him so long to come clean on his sourcing.
