A Pulitzer for a False Story

Washington Post journalist Dana Priest won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on the “CIA secret prisons” story; in this interview the “prisons” are described as “gulags” and Priest seems to have no problem with it: Dana Priest on secret gulags, CIA and war. (Hat tip: Doss.)

Now that an EU investigation has found no evidence of illegal CIA action, will her Pulitzer be revoked—since the story for which it was awarded was probably false?

Don’t hold your breath.
