CORRECTION
 
Last week we mistakenly reported that CIA interrogators waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed 183 times in March, 2003, an average of slightly more than six times per day. In fact, there are 31 days in March, so he was waterboarded an average of slightly less than six times per day. We regret the error.
