Terrorism intelligence: In Sunday’s Section A, a headline and sub-headline -- “White House backtracks on lost intelligence: Officials acknowledge that telecom firms are furnishing all requested information” -- incorrectly characterized the administration’s action. As the article correctly said: Hours after Bush administration officials warned Congress in a letter that intelligence was being lost because wiretapping legislation was still pending, they informed lawmakers that they had prevailed on telecommunications companies to continue cooperating with requests for information while legislation talks continued, but that intelligence had been lost in the meantime.
