Suppose you have information from two different sources that you believe to be reliable that John Doe is a crook. You publish the fact that John Doe is a crook. Now, suppose it turns out that your two sources lied to you. Should you be guilty of libel?

This is why I'm always careful to qualify what I say with phrases like "in my opinion", "it's my understanding", "sources I consider reliable say"... and so on. I also never call anyone a "crook", even if I'm morally certain they are one, and don't characterize any company as a "scam" until that fact is very publicly proved.

For all this, I'm sometimes accused of being "evasive", and "playing cat and mouse games", but that's better than being "sued".
