Washington Times Publishes Fake Pro-Bush Letter

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Washington Times said Tuesday it regretted publishing what it said was a forged letter in the name of a U.S. ambassador and was working with the State Department to track the origin of the document.

The letter, in the name of Stephan Minikes, ambassador to the Vienna-based Organization for Security and Cooperation (news - web sites) in Europe, accused U.S. career diplomats of disloyalty to the objectives of the Bush administration.

"We have been ... informed from the highest level at the State Department, and we accept as true that the ambassador was not the author of this letter," editor in chief Wesley Pruden said in a written statement.
