How big a change? Komen backs down says disqualifying investigations must be criminal or nonpolitical (exempt #planned parenthood?)

THIS link is NOT working for me: http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2012/02/komen-apologizes-for-recent-de.html
that is the link the Tweets are referencing.
I think perhaps the Komen story may be false (????)

(49,761 posts)A desperate attempt to salvage something that is now beyond salvaging. Their decision to defund PP has brought out so much more that is despicable about this 'charity' that they will NEVER get a penny from me nor any participation in activities they sponsor.
I hope they sink and donations from both individuals and corporations go, instead, to worthy organizations that actually spend the donated money on research to cure cancer instead of 'raising awareness' advertizing and outrageous salaries for their CEO and others.
