>From the piece above:

  The Jewish Week of New York reports on how a "flawed confirmation" from Rabbi

  Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, to an
editor at

  the National Post led to the story being published.

This is the one part of this story I don't understand: why the Simon
Wiesenthal center confirmed the story. Either this was a major
bureaucratic fuckup or those people are ideological hacks.
