Additional pain and suffering

November 12, 2007 – 8:00 am

We just came across this apology from October 16:

Some errors can’t be excused or explained. Our error in Tuesday’s editorial marking the death of Adam D. Quinn in Afghanistan last week is one such error. We mistakenly referred to Quinn as his brother, Asa, who is 19. We illustrated the editorial with a picture of Asa Quinn.
We regret the errors and deeply apologize to the Quinn family for adding to their anguish in this most difficult time. Our intention was, and remains, to honorably recognize Adam’s service and mourn his passing.
