NYT correction: Benghazi attacker was drinking strawberry frappe, not mango juice

this was the guy they just caught. The hilarious correction happened back when Benghazi happened...

This article has been revised to reflect the following correction:

Correction: October 19, 2012

An earlier version of this article misidentified the beverage that Ahmed Abu Khattala was drinking at the hotel. It was a strawberry frappe, not mango juice, which is what he had ordered.

Was he drinking a strawberry frappe because that's what he ordered?

Or was he drinking a strawberry frappe even though he ordered a mango juice?

Inquiring minds want to know.
