An article on Tuesday about President Obama's efforts to reassure Americans about security after the attempted bombing of a jet on Friday referred incorrectly to the plane ticket used by the suspect. It was a round-trip ticket, not a one-way ticket. And while the ticket was purchased with cash, it was not confirmed that the suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, indeed purchased the ticket himself. (The error about who purchased the ticket first appeared in a front-page article on Monday about concerns over why the suspect was not stopped.)Too bad Fox News doesn't have a corrections section.
