Last Friday, a top Pentagon spokesman told us that a review of the probe cited in our story showed that it was never meant to look into charges of Qur'an desecration. The spokesman also said the Pentagon had investigated other desecration charges by detainees and found them "not credible." Our original source later said he couldn't be certain about reading of the alleged Qur'an incident in the report we cited, and said it might have been in other investigative documents or drafts. Top administration officials have promised to continue looking into the charges, and so will we. But 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.

Hold them accountable. For the intention. For the method. For the outcome. For the ramifications.

Well, good.
How soon can we expect the folks killed in Afghanistan
to return to life? And when can we expect the heightened
danger to our guys in Muslim countries triggered by this
story, to subside?

In these days, people are charged indirectly for murder involving car wrecks, etc. The author should suffer the same.
