Strange (and strangely appropriate) error in a recent nytimes article:

"As a free society we have to defeat dangers before they ripen," Mr. Bush said. "The war on terrorism will be fought here at home unless we summon the will to confront evil before it attacks."

Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the Republican whip, echoed that sentiment on the House floor today, saying, "As a free society we have to defeat dangers before they ripen. The war on terrorism will be fought here at home unless we summon the will to confront evil before it attacks."
