26FTE_NOTE.html
NY Times acknowledges that some of its Iraq pieces “included incomplete information or pointed in a wrong direction.” A substantial apology, although it makes a point of saying that individual reporters (i.e. Judith Miller) were not at fault. Also interesting is that much is made of where in the paper an article appeared, and where the later and less sensational corrections appeared—especially since the articles that appear on the Times’s website (unlike those of the Washington Post) carry no note indicating where on the printed paper they appeared. (On which page did this apology run?) 02:00
