Paul Nelson has posted the letter he sent to The Guardian concerning an article by Karen Armstrong, in which she falsely attributed a quote about "a mighty army of cutting-edge Jewish End-time warriors" to him. As he writes:

Please publish a retraction or correction. I never said the remarks attributed to me by Ms Armstrong. If you contact Armstrong about this and ask her about the source for the error, she will agree with me. This is inexcusably slovenly writing.

In a comment to the letter, Paul Nelson also notes that Armstrong never interviewed him for the article. My, that looks like its becoming quite the habbit among self-styled defenders of science and democracy.
