Our story last week on the failed lawsuit against Narco News (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/215.html#narconews) contained a typo in the name of the former Banamex chief who sued Narco News. His name is Roberto Hernandez, not Fernandez.

In our story on British police chiefs calling for prescription heroin for addicts, we incorrectly identified the author of the Cleveland Report as Chief Constable Barry Straw QPM. The correct name is Barry Shaw. We also misattributed a quote to him that should have been attributed to another: The Cleveland Report did not call British drug policy "ineffective" and "clearly based upon American experience." Rather, that was a characterization of the report made by a British journalist.

Last week, we were unable to locate a copy of the Cleveland Report. This week, however, we are pleased to note it is accessible at http://user1.netcarrier.com/~aahpat/ukpol.htm online.
