This looks like a DRUDGE type story - but I don't see it on his page anywhere.......but I did see this:
Isikoff is an experienced investigative reporter. He made his bones breaking the Lewinsky scandal back in the 1990's........
I am sure Drudge likes it when Isikoff gets the big credit for the Lewinsky story. Ha!

Newsweek LIED and People Died!
Yep - these idiots in the MSM don't seem to understand that when they print lies (born our of their breathless hatred of Bush), people get killed. Will they do anything to correct the matter now?
Send the Newsweak team to Afghanistan on a fact finding mission ...
I cannot wait to see how the NY Times and the WAPO cover this Monday AM...it is a HUGE story. It should be above the fold with a two column (at least) headline. Let's see.
All this as I remember from following the story in the news and on Drudge.
Time to bring charges against them.
Pentagon Spokesperson DiRita exploded, "People are dead because of what this son of a bitch said."
Friggin prissy. People did NOT die from what any SOB said. People are dead because THUGS decided to use their bastard conception of religion as an excuse to slaughter.
Thankfully, LGF's post -- quoting the vile mullahs of Hate -- makes quite clear the mindset.
Somebody's a** should get fired.
Perhaps Newsweek could have CBS News gin up some memo backing their story.
What's REALLY convoluted is how the US Gov't is bending over forward and backwards to "respect" the Islamic religion,
going out of its way to insure prisoners are given Halal meat, etc. Imagine if these prisoners were Christians? How fast would the ACLU sue to stop the practice of accomodating the religion of Christianity?
Again I disagree. If we had a real CIA as good as Hillary's hit squad Isikoff would have a walk in the Ft, Marcy park.
I suggest we send them "Isacaught".
So, when the enemy fires from inside mosques, we should riot and kill anyone looking Arabic, right??? Will Kristl get the credit then? Blaast em till they sue for peace. Works great! Every time!!!
To the editing and writing staff of Newsweek,
Congratulations on your publication in Periscope concerning Korans being flushed down toilets by U.S. interrogators and your subsequent apology, stating that this story may have not been supported by fact. Congratulations again, for the deaths and rioting resulting from your due diligence and journalistic integrity in reporting this story. Congratulations for providing the Moslem world with more fodder, which will be used to recruit more jihadists to kill the infidels. Congratulations for any future deaths of Americans and others in the world that will result from your loose-lipped arrows of truth. Congratulations on your apology, which comes after arrow has left bow and the damage that results cannot be undone. Thank you so much for being sorry. You, of all people should know that words are a powerful weapon, and once they have been unleashed, they cannot be called back no matter how sorry you claim to be. Aside from the deaths and riots your journalistic work has already accomplished, congratulations also for this:
FAIZABAD, Afghanistan (Reuters) -- A group of Afghan Muslim clerics have threatened to call for a holy war against the United States in three days unless it hands over military interrogators reported to have desecrated the Quran.
The warning on Sunday came after 16 Afghans were killed and more than 100 hurt last week in the worst anti-U.S. protests across the country since U.S. forces invaded in 2001 to oust the Taliban for sheltering Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda network.
The clerics in the northeastern province of Badakhshan said they wanted U.S. President George W. Bush to handle the matter honestly "and hand the culprits over to an Islamic country for punishment."
"If that does not happen within three days, we will launch a jihad against America," said a statement issued by about 300 clerics, referring to Muslim holy war, after meeting in the main mosque in the provincial capital, Faizabad.
It’s fun to play God. Don’t you agree?
