The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Richard Myers, in a U.S. State Dept.-issued press release on May 12, said the Newsweek story isn't a chief cause of the riots: " [H]e has been told that the Jalalabad, Afghanistan, rioting was related more to the ongoing political reconciliation process in Afghanistan than anything else."
Also, it should be noted that Newsweek's error was in reporting that the U.S. was prepared to admit to the desecration of the Quran. There are myriad sources that the desecration has occurred, and this is not seriously in dispute.
If a house is leaking gas, which could kill in itself but didn't, is ignited because a drunk driver runs into it and kills the occupant, should the drunk driver be charged with murder?
"There are myriad sources that the desecration has occurred, and this is not seriously in dispute."
Then present them please. I call BS.
Qwinn
Do any of these "myriad" sources have names? Can you identify any source for this assertion?
I won't be holding my breath.
