From today's New York Times corrections column:

An article on Wednesday about Congressional committee testimony by a top State Department expert on chemical and biological weapons misstated the response of other officials from several intelligence agencies who were asked whether they had been pressured to tailor their analysis on Iraq and other matters to conform with the Bush administration's views. All said no; they did not remain silent.

Remaining silent has that conspiracy/5th Amendment-invoking appeal to it. Denying it casts doubt on the Times editorial news article.
