Amein, the "verbatim" quotes published in Davar and supposedly made by Sharon in an interview with Israeli writer Amos Oz were in fact not made by Sharon. They were attributed to another unnamed Israeli officer. I believe that Holger Jensen's story has been removed from the Rocky Mountain News.

The Toronto Globe and Mail mistakenly referred to the interview in this article:

theglobeandmail.com

However they published a correction two days later. (Scroll down to the bottom of the article to read the correction.)

Correction

A Comment article by author Erna Paris in this space Wednesday erroneously attributed certain remarks to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The statement, said to have been made in an interview with Israeli writer Amos Oz, was in fact made by another senior Israeli military official, who remains unnamed. Ms. Paris had accepted the interview's attribution in good faith, from a reliable source, and was informed of its inaccuracy only after publication. She and The Globe and Mail regret the error.

I am sure that you realize the value of quotes by "unnamed" sources.
