CORRECTION
In an article on friendly fire casualties in Afghanistan, we referred to "speed," or "uppers," street parlance for powerful amphetamines, an illegal drug which can cause erratic, dangerous behavior and lead to jail time for users. In fact, when the Air Force gives amphetamines to their pilots, the drugs are called "go pills," a vital tool in the defense of freedom. We apologize for the confusion.
