Suspended for Inaccuracy?

Now this is rich!

"Alex Jones, a former Times reporter who heads the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University, noted the paper's disclosure that Executive Editor Bill Keller had told Miller in 2003 she could no longer cover Iraq and weapons of mass destruction after some of her stories turned out to be wrong."

Since when are reporters suspended for inaccuracy? I'm sure I don't have to compile a list of errors by mainstream press reporters that seem not to have bothered anyone. Although the inaccurate story about "Koran desecration" in Newsweek that got people killed didn't result in any sanctions.
