Harper's, the venerable old mag of found content and future telling, made a booboo in its "Weekly Review" newsletter by calling Iraq "...the most corrupt country on Earth." Senior editor and Review writer Roger D. Hodge sent this correction to subscribers:
"In today's Weekly Review I stated that "Transparency International announced that Iraq is now the most corrupt country on Earth." This is an error. In fact, Iraq scored 2.1 on TI's corruption index, along with Cameroon, Kenya, and Pakistan. Sixteen countries received lower scores. Bangladesh and Haiti were the most corrupt with a score of 1.5."
Maybe they'll eventually put it up on Harper's corrections page, which currently reads like it is computer generated. (It is.)
