UPDATE: Marion Barry Makes Truthful Statements

Yesterday, at a loss for news, I mentioned Marion Barry's recent encounter with alleged muggers in his own kitchen and implied that it was really a drug deal gone sour. Today, the Washington Post all but confirms it in this article about his post-trauma press conference. Here's the money quote:

"There is a sort of an unwritten code in Washington, among the underworld and the hustlers and these other guys, that I am their friend," Barry said at an afternoon news conference in which he described the robbery in detail. "I don't advocate what they do. I advocate conditions to change what they do. I was a little hurt that this betrayal did happen."
