[Imc-web] In order to correct an error in my article/Doug Soderstrom.

[Soderstrom, Doug]

Dear Staff:

In regards to my article posted on your web site (The Mindless American: A Tragedy In The Making), it was brought to my attention that there was an error in the article.

Therefore, if, in your judgment, it would be the appropriate thing to do, I would appreciate it if you would consider posting this statement next to the article.

"Recently, it was brought to my attention that Robert Fisk, the renown reporter of The Independent, was not banned from entering the United States.  Such was no more than an unfortunate rumor multiplied many times over on the internet.  If I had pursued the information a bit more diligently, I would have realized that Mr. Fisk had not been banned from entering the United States, but was, in fact, simply detained from entering the U.S., at that particular moment in time, due to the solitary fact that Mr. Fisk did not have a "biometric passport," which is now required of all citizens from nations like that of the UK on a visa waiver program.  For that mistake I offer a sincere apology first of all to Mr. Fisk, for whom I have the greatest degree of respect as an investigative journalist, and secondly to those who so diligently took the time to read my article........ all in order that I as an undoubtedly fallible human being might continue to do my best to tell "the truth" the best that I can."

Thank you very much,

Doug Soderstrom
