Brennan Manning: "I Lied"

Christianity Today recently did an interview with Brennan Manning about his staying near New Orleans to help in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Now the CT editors have added an editorial preface to the interview:

From the Editors: We regret to inform our readers that, following this on-the-record conversation, Brennan Manning called our office to apologize. He reiterated that he had been "disoriented, confused, and depressed" lately and that certain details he provided were not true. He did not help identify a child from his apartment complex. He did not help an elderly woman get a ride. And while he was the last one to leave his apartment complex, "the truth is that there was nobody around here for me to help," he said in a voice message to Christianity Today. "The essential truth: I lied."
