FOR THE RECORD - Jan. 3, 2009

Iraqi security: In an article in Friday’s Section A about the transition of control of military patrols from the Americans to the Iraqis, a quote from U.S. Army Lt. Col. John Richardson of the 5th Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, was incomplete, making it unclear who he said is now in control of operations in his section of Baghdad. Richardson was quoted as saying, “With this relationship you have one battalion commander . . . in the lead.” The full quote is: “With this relationship you have one battalion commander, an Iraqi battalion commander, in the lead. He has an American commander to advise him.”
