Listeriosis: On second thought

Two versions were issued this afternoon of the statement by the independent investigator who looked into last year's listeriosis outbreak.  My colleague here, Joanna Smith, notices that the second, *revised* version is missing an interesting paragraph.

"I have been able to conduct my investigation independently and impartially. There has been no interference from any party whatsoever. Overall my experience was positive in that people wanted to help and be part of the solution.  All those who were asked to participate agreed to be interviewed and were open with their information and advice. "


I guess, upon reflection, she didn't feel she wanted to say this. Odd.

****Update (also from Joanna)***

Her spokesperson David Rodier of the outside firm National Public Relations said it was a "true statement" but was removed for "brevity". He said she had planned to address the issue at the press conference tomorrow.
