Careful with that quote

It's one of those  intriguing  coincidences. Here, in one section of the Star today, is Liberal  deputy leader Michael Ignatieff making public amends for his "war crime" remarks during the heat of the 2006 Liberal leadership campaign.

And here is Samantha Power, a one-time adviser to Barack Obama's presidential campaign, still feeling badly over her public misstep of calling Hillary Clinton a "monster" in an interview with the BBC.

Ignatieff and Power are old friends from their days at Harvard and they were due to see each other socially this weekend while Power was in Toronto.  What's the bet that they talked about the perils of publicly airing your opinions?
