But Newsweek apologized in an editor's note for Monday's edition and said they were re-examining the allegations.
"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.
Newsweek's source later said he was unsure about the origin of the Quran allegation, and a top Pentagon spokesman told the magazine that the military "had investigated other desecration charges by detainees and found them 'not credible.'"

"The American soldiers are known for disrespect to other religions. They do not take care of the sanctity of other religions," Qazi Hussain Ahmed, the Pakistani chief of a coalition of radical Islamic groups, said Sunday.

How ACLUesque in a perverted way of this 'cleric' masquerading as a voice of reason or what passes for such in that part of the world.

How about "If it turns out to be true or
false, obviously we will take action against those responsible, Stephen Hadley said in an interview for CNN's "Late Edition."
Now you have everyone's attention and Newsweek sweating.

Put a bag over Evan Thomas's head and turn him over to the terrorists for the same treatment he has caused others to suffer.

"The American soldiers are known for disrespect to other religions. They do not take care of the sanctity of other religions," Qazi Hussain Ahmed, the Pakistani chief of a coalition of radical Islamic groups, said Sunday. The gall of these animals who deliberately choose the holy sites of others - that they have destroyed - for their own mosques, would be astonishing, if we didn't already know that nothing is beneath them.

"The American soldiers are known for disrespect to other religions. They do not take care of the sanctity of other religions,"..and Islam doesn't respect Christians and Jews. They kill because we are not Muuuslims.
What freakin' hypocrisy.

We've saved Afghans from their taliban and al-qaeda oppressors. We've spent billions of dollars helping them to re-construct their country. But a single erroneous news story sparks their outrage and resentment against the U.S. almost immediately. We're given no benefit of the doubt, we're cut no slack.
Helping muslims would seem to be a good way to get a sharp stick poked in your eye.

Typical AP. They put the Anti-American agitprop at the front of the story (Muslims demand this...Muslism demand that...Muslims view America as anti-Koran....blah, blah, blah)....
They don't even get to the fact that Newsweek admitted that the story is not accurate until the 8th paragraph.

"We regret that we got any part of our story wrong..." We regret but Bush lied.
We were wrong but Bush lied.
After all we could have got all of it wrong but Bush lied.

What's all this talk about a bunch of Muslim prisoners flushing corn down the toilet?? Don't they serve corn for lunch in that jail? Koran? What's that? It's like a holy book? Ohh, well that's different. NEVERMIND!
