CORRECTION
Last week, in describing intense, detailed discussions inside the White House over many weeks that led to government-sanctioned torture, we listed President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Attorney General John Ashcroft, Secretary of State Colin Powell, CIA Director George Tenet and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice as all being in attendance. In fact, President Bush, although informed of everything, was not present. We apologize for any confusion.
