UPDATE: A response was provided to reporters Thursday evening. In it, Mr. Jones apologized for signing the statement and said he doesn’t feel that way today and never has had such thoughts, although the 911Truth group claims to have personally confirmed support from all of their signers.
“In recent days some in the news media have reported on past statements I made before I joined the administration – some of which were made years ago,” Mr. Jones said. “If I have offended anyone with statements I made in the past, I apologize. As for the petition that was circulated today, I do not agree with this statement and it certainly does not reflect my views now or ever.

It’s a little troubling that this website would defend Jones. Now, the defense hasn’t been overt. But the posts that have cross linked to CoC under the guise of Beck Hate only give credibility to a man and an organization that deserves none. If you disagree with Beck, so be it, but to ignore the man that is Van Jones because it feeds into your message is despicable. His quoted statement from the WT says everything that needs to be said. He apologizes for signing it. Well, that’s convenient now, isn’t it?
