A column I wrote and that was briefly published Wednesday has created a lot of anger and confusion among some readers. I want you to know that I'm sorry it hurt Jana Shortal and I have told her so. At the time, in my own sadness about the horribly tragic Jacob Wetterling news, I was trying to urge maximum respect for the family and that led me to comment on someone's attire. In hindsight, that was a mistake and I understand the perspective of those upset by it.
