In a story published on July 3, ‘US ambassador recalls Taseer, Bhutto, Shahzad, urges tradition of tolerance’ an error was made in quoting the speaker for the Balochistan Assembly, Aslam Bhootani. The speaker was referring to ordinary Pakistanis knowing more about Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga than George Washington and not George Bush. The error is regretted.
