"Newsweek says erred in Koran desecration report"
By David Morgan 1 hour, 36 minutes ago

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Newsweek magazine on Sunday said it erred in a May 9 report that said U.S. interrogators desecrated the Koran at Guantanamo Bay, and apologized to the victims of deadly Muslim protests sparked by the article.

"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," Editor Mark Whitaker wrote in the magazine's latest issue, due to appear on U.S. newsstands on Monday.

Whitaker said the magazine inaccurately reported that U.S. military investigators had confirmed that personnel at the detention facility in Cuba had flushed the Koran down the toilet."

"Newsweek's nightmares"

[editor-surveyor]

" and apologized to the victims of deadly Muslim protests sparked by the article."

People have been killed because of this article; at the very least this is felony endangerment. Is an apology enough?

Notice that there is NO plea from Newsweek calling for an END to the riots.

They extended their sympathies...

Well whoop-dee-doo.
