· A Feb. 9 front-page article about a Pentagon inspector general's report regarding the office of former undersecretary of defense Douglas J. Feith incorrectly attributed quotations to that report. References to Feith's office producing "reporting of dubious quality or reliability" and that the office "was predisposed to finding a significant relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda" were from a report issued by Sen. Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) in October 2004. Similarly, the quotes stating that Feith's office drew on "both reliable and unreliable reporting" to produce a link between al-Qaeda and Iraq "that was much stronger than that assessed by the IC [intelligence community] and more in accord with the policy views of senior officials in the Administration" were also from Levin's report. The article also stated that the intelligence provided by Feith's office supported the political views of senior administration officials, a conclusion that the inspector general's report did not draw.

The two reports employ similar language to characterize the activities of Feith's office: Levin's report refers to an "alternative intelligence assessment process" developed in that office, while an unclassified summary of the inspector general's report states that the office "developed, produced, and then disseminated alternative intelligence assessments on the Iraq and al Qaida relationship, which included some conclusions that were inconsistent with the consensus of the Intelligence Community, to senior decision-makers." The summary of the inspector general's report further states that Feith's briefing to the White House in 2002 "undercuts the Intelligence Community" and "did draw conclusions that were not fully supported by the available intelligence."

· A performance scheduled for tomorrow by the D.C. Allstars at the Birchmere was listed as a critic's pick in the Feb. 9 Weekend section. The show has been postponed.

· A Feb. 8 article incorrectly said that Flynt Leverett was senior director of the National Security Council in early May 2003, when he saw a fax regarding a potential offer from Iran to open dialogue. He worked at the CIA at that time, having left the White House six weeks earlier.

· A Feb. 7 Metro article about the Virginia House of Delegates' approval of a multibillion-dollar transportation plan incorrectly said the vote was 62 to 39. The vote was 62 to 36, with two delegates not voting.

· A Feb. 6 article about the cold weather incorrectly said that Marcie Roth distributed leaflets at a protest in Rockville the previous day. She held a sign.
