Sometimes your management will instruct you to do something that you know to be mistaken. Your obligation is to do what's right, trusting that your management will ultimately figure out their mistake. By the way -- you'd better be right.

Today's Tao (Chapter 50):

Men flow into life, and ebb into death.

Some are filled with life;
Some are empty with death;
Some hold fast to life, and thereby perish,
For life is an abstraction.

Those who are filled with life
Need not fear tigers and rhinos in the wilds,
Nor wear armour and shields in battle;
The rhinoceros finds no place in them for its horn,
The tiger no place for its claw,
The soldier no place for a weapon,
For death finds no place in them.

NYT: "mea culpa"

Politics
the New York Times published a pretty extraordinary admission of their lousy reporting and editing yesterday. As much as they were complicit in the hysterical run-up to war, There's hope when they can, albeit very belatedly, admit their mistakes publically.

On the other hand, Judith Miller can't seem to get her head out of her ass:

"You know what," she offered angrily. "I was proved fucking right. That's what happened. People who disagreed with me were saying, 'There she goes again.' But I was proved fucking right."


Actually, she was proved wrong, and her bosses have admitted it.
