Excerpt:
A prominent opponent of the planned mosque and community centre at New York's Ground Zero has apologized to Canadian teen singing sensation Justin Bieber for being taken in by a hoax about a purported interview the singer never gave.
Andy Sullivan, a Brooklyn construction worker who created the 9-11 Hard Hat Pledge under which labourers pledge not to help build the planned mosque and community centre, posted an apology to the Stratford, Ont.- born Bieber on his website Friday.
"It seems a wrong needs to be righted and the fault is my own," Sullivan wrote on his blog at bluecollarcorner.com.
