Eleanor Clift told me that before Isikoff, the Jewish Editor of Newsweek, burned a very old and valuable copy of the sacred Koran, he first DEFILED it multiple times in multiple ways, including three that included the waste of pigs. Isikoff, according to Cleft, refuses to apologize necause, "under the First Amendment, all journalists can say whatever we want."
This is a risky position to take because, I believe, there are three Newsweek reporters still in Iraq and we'd not want anything to happen to them. Although, Isikoff has indicated that, if it sharply increased circulation, he wouldn't mind seeing one or two of them kidnapped, tortured and executed, providing, of course, that Newsweek got exclusive coverage.
Sauce for the goose - very good, sir.
