Correction to FactCheck email

[heidi]

Had to share:

From: FactCheck.org <subscriberservices@factcheck.org>

Our latest email, "Katrina: What Happened When" contained an error.

We said an Amtrak train that left New Orleans prior to the hurricane had room for "thousands" of persons. We should have said "several hundred."

We regret the error. It is being corrected on our website.

That's quite an error.

Yes, especially as it's been this big kerfluffly thingy.

I'd say that vindicates your questionning of the whole thing a few days ago, then... Pretty big error, especially when you call yourself FactCheck. ItSoundsGoodButWe'reTooLazyToVerifyItCheck doesn't quite roll off the tongue so well, somehow...
