Well, I'll give them 2% credit for retracting.

It won't help matters any, though.

Isn't that like trying to take back a stinky release of flatus? Or unring a bell?

On DU, they've decided that they will believe the story no matter what.

They are also sure ("I have no evidence, but I am positive!") that the Bush family has threatened certain people with death should they refuse to retract this story.

I love reading things over there. It makes my nutty acquaintences seems so relatively grounded.

Why didn't the Army just stick the Koran in bucket of piss and leave it at that?

The US Army would of received a grant from the Natioinal Endowment.

Mike Isikoff is now better known for his stories that 1) were spiked; or 2) never should have run in the first place.

You "know" Newsweak is taking huge hits for its "powers that be" to issue this retraction.

"We retract this story because of pressure from the extremists in the White House, but we still hate the soldiers and think they are evil, and led by evil men. Are we forgiven now or do you want to torture and perscute us even more, stormtroopers?"
