Via Azerbic, I hear that the National Post ran a prominent retraction and apology today.

Says Antonia,

"it's fair to say that the paper acted as swiftly as it could to rectify what was a serious error, one with potentially catastrophic consequences. It did much better than did the New York Times did, say, with its Judith Miller/WMDs horsedip."

Good for them. With luck (and vigilance), this story will end up having a different effect than those who promoted it initially hoped for. Rather than promoting a rush to war, it will cause us to look more skeptically at news reports which lead us down that path.
