Nicholas Blanford

So Mini-Hariri gave an interview to the mouthpiece of Prince Salman and his sons, Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat, and said that they "have committed mistakes" against Syria by accusing it of killing daddy Hariri.  But Blanford is now stuck with his book on Hariri:  in it, he basically records the wild tales of Hariri court jesters about Syria's responsibility.  The book was bought in bulk by Hariri family and they allegedly arranged for its translation and free distribution in Lebanon and beyond.  So what will Blanford do now?  Write a postscript in which he would say: oh, by the way, the entire tale told in this book by orders of Hariri family is all bogus and fictitious.  He can then promise a new book in which he tells a new tale in which he accuses Hizbullah.
