Welcome to the world of manipulative liberal-agenda journalism. "Oops, we may have been wrong about that Quran desecration business." Well, yeah, and meanwhile the falsehoods touch off riots in Afghanistan, with 17 dead. It's an object lesson, people. Stop embelishing your stories because you hate George W. Bush. This is as serious as a heart attack. We're at war with terrorists, and you'd better get the facts straight, no matter who you fantasize about being in the White House.
"We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst," Newsweek Editor Mark Whitaker wrote in a note to readers."
By the way, have you ever tried to flush anything as large as even a small book down a toilet? C'mon, Newsweek. We've had your action. Go back to celebrity cheating stories. |

Or did the Pentagon put pressure on Newsweek to retract the story because of the consequences?
Just a thought.
