"Post editors say they were trying to knock down the Obama-is-a-Muslim rumor [with
Perry Bacon Jr.'s
story], but I don't believe the piece was well executed,"

This was particularly true in the case of the madrassa he allegedly attended as a child. That charge is bogus ... and the Post story failed to make that clear, in my view."
