Did I miss something important in the announcement? Only one file needed to be fixed. I downloaded all 14 binary iso CD images. Which one do I need to re-download? Or am I expect to hammer Debian's servers again re-downloading all 14 files?

Only the one with the base system, CD 1.

Do you need help?

The file gets used in different ways while the release is in development. The security source lines weren't used during development, but should have been activated prior to release. I wish I were so perfect that I could criticize someone for that.

Reread the announcement above. Reread the paragraph that starts with "If you have already...". Post a message stating why that paragraph is unclear to you, when taken as a portion of the rest of the announcement.

Another option would be to re-download the first CD, but that seems like it would be alot of work to fix one line in /etc/apt/sources.list, wouldn't it?

And, if you use jigdo, I doubt downloading the fixed image would be more than a few kilobytes (mostly to get the updated .jigdo file).

Which is useful if you've installed a system already, but useless if you're intending to burn and distribute CDs. In that case, you need to redownload (or ideally, rebuild, if you used jigdo) CD 1.
