ABC makes a "correction"?

but not over the air..

UPDATE: The Associated Press piles on with a story titled "Report Raises New Questions on Bush, WMDs." If you read far enough, though, you can figure out that there actually isn't any story at all. The only real news in the AP's account relates to the mis-reporting on ABC's "Good Morning America":

The Post did not say that Bush knew what he was saying was false. But ABC News did during a report on "Good Morning America," and McClellan demanded an apology and an on-air retraction. ABC News said later in a clarification on its Web site that Charles Gibson had erred. McClellan said he had received an apology.

Well, maybe. I couldn't find the "clarification" on either the main ABC News site or the Good Morning America site. In any event, what is needed is an on-air correction and apology, not an on-line "clarification."
