Yesterday, Peter Worthington published his side of the story on the Clifford Olson parole hearing. Here is Worthington’s assessment of why Olson wanted him there, as well as why Worthington agreed to it:

I suspect it was partly to tweak authorities who are instinctively wary of the media, and partly because he hopes I will take his 9/11 allegations seriously (I don’t) and argue his case in print. More manipulation.

Why I accepted this role, and why I have continued 20-plus years of talking with Olson, is easy. It was a chance to get a jump on journalistic colleagues who were trapped in another room watching events on TV.
