The editors of The New Republic <\/i> got it right, it IS the correction of the year, issued by the Cleveland Plain Dealer <\/i> on November 18: \u201cBecause 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 Daeschle of South Dakota.

The only solution for Iraq was for \u2018the zealous Iraqi sons, who ran its affairs and brought it out of backwardness . . . to return . . . to run its affairs anew.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n
