Oh, a refresh yields the following:
"The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections
and clarifications column, Wednesday January 16 2008

The US intelligence community's enthusiasm for hi-tech innovation
after 9/11 and the creation of In-Q-Tel, its venture capital fund, in
1999 were anachronistically linked in the article below. Since 9/11
happened in 2001 it could not have led to the setting up of In-Q-Tel
two years earlier"
