[Dont Mention the War]

Corrections and clarifications

Thursday June 5, 2003

In our front page lead on May 31 headlined "Straw, Powell had serious doubts over their Iraqi weapons claims," we said that the foreign secretary Jack Straw and his US counterpart Colin Powell had met at the Waldorf Hotel in New York shortly before Mr Powell addressed the United Nations on February 5. Mr Straw has now made it clear that no such meeting took place. The Guardian accepts that and apologises for suggesting it did.

Did liberal-bashers cost Garofalo her sitcom?

When are the editors of the Guardian going to resign? :)

I'm serious......the news business will never be the same.....because of this thing called the internet.

You took the time to flesh this out for us........Freepers rock!

Howell Raines, call your office.

Fair enough: but that search will need a cut-off date

Why?

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

Bravo Stultis,

one really can make a difference.

Check this out! Never thought I would see the day when both stories get retracted and Raines out at the NY Times.

Something is going on!

Yes yes yes. Its a glorious day indeed.

The Guardian can't be trusted.

And the upheaval over at the liberal voice of record, the NYSlimes, is a grand thing to witness too. I luv it!

Maybe today's the day to buy a lottery ticket since the stars seem to be in some fortuitous alignment.

Either that or I need to go put on my skates since h*ll seems to have frozen over.

What a day this is turning out to be. Our local radio had the hillary publisher threatening to sue AP over quotes they obtained illegally too!

Just gets better and better!

This is amazing. The Guardian has retracted the story, yet CNN Headline news was running the story on their 'ticker line' at the bottom as recently as 1214 EST 05 June 2003. I don't have the time or contact info for them, perhaps some of you can Freep them as well.

You can contact CNN about this here
