::Sincere thanks for the tip.  Note, however, that the Newsweek blog title is misleading:  the retraction had nothing to do with the "Climategate" this WP article treats.  Although Begley first drags the red herring of Phil Jones and Michael Mann across the trail, the subject of her deliberately confused blog is what she calls a retraction but the Times calls a correction regarding a "bogus rainforest claim" by the IPCC based on a WWF report prepared by what the Times called "'green campaigners' with 'little scientific expertise.'"  The Times acknowledged the report was accurate and peer-reviewed.  It also apologized for twisting the words of Dr. Simon Lewis. 
 ::Oddly enough, I can find neither the original report from January nor the June 21 correction on the Times website.  The new reports are widely disseminated across the internet, mainly through blogs.  This "Green" blog from the NYT is the most reliable report I've turned up, with a link in the 5th paragraph to a copy of the "retraction," a link to a PDF of the original article, a link to a PDF of Lewis's 31-page claim against the Times, and a link to a scan of the "retraction" that omits the date and the last line or two.
