I just wanted to comment on one of the articles in the March 10 paper. I cannot remember the exact title of the article, and I do not have a copy, but it had to do with the cost of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The news teaser on the front page said the cost of the war would exceed $27 trillion! Now I know this was probably a harmless typo, but the thing is, it’s not so harmless!

I found this fact hard to believe, so I flipped to the page of the article and read further because I knew there was no way the cost of the war could exceed $27 trillion by 2017.
