All the News Fit to Correct
There is no truth to the rumor that the New York Times intends to transform its corrections column into a daily section. But last week's papers featured some whoppers.
The Times admitted that it wrongly attributed to Vice President Dick Cheney the claim that Saddam Hussein's government was a house of cards and further wrongly asserted that the vice president had predicted a shorter than expected collapse of Saddam's regime.
It also admitted that it had misquoted Lt. General William Wallace in an April 1 news story. The wrong quote -- which originally appeared in a Washington Post story: "The enemy we're fighting is different than the one we war-gamed against."
That quote set off hundreds of stories about friction between field commanders and Gen. Tommy Franks. The controversy evaporated when the true quote became known: "the enemy we're fighting is a bit different than the one we war-gamed against."
Oddly, the paper got the quote right in a March 28 piece.
