I'm not sure this is completely accurate. My understanding is the Richer
has denied the claims, and has stated McGuire gave him permission to make
a *specific* denial statement. NPR was interviewing Suskind, and he
states the McGuire "denial" is the result of confusion, and, after he has
read the book, will confirm Suskind's version. He also states that he
has all the conversations on tape.

But I do agree, one has to be very careful during an ongoing "he said,
she said", especially during an election year. It will take time before
all this shakes out, but, remember, these accusations are about Bush, not
about McCain.
