Ed, I did telephone your home about this at 2:00 am Netherlands time.
Unfortunately you were not home and you do not have voice mail, so the
best thing I could do was to email both Rob and you. I am very sorry
that I have lost your trust, but I never had any intention of hurting
you. As I said when I walk the line of journalist and friend, it is very
difficult to please all sides.  If I was a mean person, I wouldn't have
bothered to try to get in touch with you. At that point I was in
possesion of public knowledge that would have been published very soon
anyway. I took the decision to publish not wanting to be scooped, BUT at
the same time, I did try to warn you.  If I have lost a friend over
this, I am very sorry, but a journalist's decisions are tough ones to
make.  The key point was that the information was public at the time I
made my decision.
