Correction to Landmine report from Wednesday, November 25, 2009

Before we end today, a correction to last Wednesday's story about landmines and the US refusal to join the Mine Ban Treaty. In citing statistics about landmines, we said "Landmines killed more than 5,200 people worldwide last year." That figure actually includes both deaths and injuries. In 2008, some 1200 people were killed, and more than 2800 injured, according to Landmine Monitor. FSRN regrets the error.
