A small victory...

The Today programme has an unusual piece on its website, apparently:
"0827
Yesterday on Today, John Humphrys interviewed Harriet Harman about MPs' expenses, and they discussed the case of the former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith. Ms Smith has been in touch with us to complain that we had made a mistake. In the interview we stated that "the Standards Commissioner himself found that Jacqui Smith had not been entirely honest in what she told us, and she had broken the rules." Today is happy to clarify that The Commissioner did find Ms Smith had broken the rules, but he did not make any judgement about her honesty."
So she broke the rules "honestly" or the Standards Commissioner just did not "make any judgement about her honesty"? I suppose when you are in Jacqui Smith's position you have to take what small victories you can.
