We have completed a thorough review of each of Fareed Zakaria’s columns for TIME, and we are entirely satisfied that the language in question in his recent column was an unintentional error and an isolated incident for which he has apologized. We look forward to having Fareed's thoughtful and important voice back in the magazine with his next column in the issue that comes out on September 7.

Wonder what his status is over at the Washington Post, where Paul Farhi accused Zakaria of journalistic misgivings, and then was forced to redact his piece after Farhi turned out to be wrong.
