My Hometown

A correction in Cleveland's Plain Dealer (via the Corner):

Because of an editing error, a story on the front page yesterday misattributed a quote from the speaker on an audiotape purportedly of Saddam Hussein as coming from Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota. It was the speaker on the tape, not Daschle, who said, "The evil ones now find themselves in crisis, and this is God's will for them." The only solution for Iraq was for "the zealous Iraqi sons, who ran its affairs and brought it out of backwardness . . . to return . . . to run its affairs anew," the speaker on the tape said, referring to the Ba'ath leadership.


Regardless of the fact that Tom Daschle has made the same point in so many words - nice. I may reconsider a subscription to the rag. Or at least read more than the occasional Kevin O'Brien.
