On Sunday, the LAT reported in large headlines that Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki now agrees with Barack Obama on the need to pull American troops out of Iraq in sixteen months. The LAT's report was based on a Maliki interview by a German newsmagazine. Maliki later said he was misquoted because of an error in translation.
This morning the LAT attempted to correct the record by including in an article about Obama's visit to Afghanistan a statement that Maliki was "scrambling ... to clarify" what he had told the German magazine. On the back page of its front section, the LAT printed a headline reporting that Maliki now says he was misquoted.
