The Economist repeats misrepresentation

The latest issue of The Economist contains, in its opinion section, a reference to John McCain's remark about being in Iraq a hundred years from now. According to The Economist, "McCain has said that America must finish the job even if it lasts a hundred years." That's not what McCain said and The Economist surely knows it. If not, it ought to check before publishing a misrepresentation. Charles Krauthammer had a column on this in yesterday's WaPo which clearly states what McCain said. The Economist's editors could, and should, read the column.
