Accuracy- It Matters

I don't consider Pat Boone to be a reporter, nor do I particularly care about his opinion on anything, but I do expect him to be vaguely accurate if he is going to inflict his opinions on the world.

From WorldNetDaily (where else?), we are treated to this:

The beautiful island of Molokai used to be called the Leper Island. Actually, one tip of the island still houses a "leper colony," a treatment center and refuge for people afflicted with Hodgkin's disease – which has for centuries been called leprosy.


Leprosy is called Hansen's Disease, asshat.
