It's still the same principle, isn't it? How is saying Newsweek is responsible for the deaths any different from saying that video games incite violence?
Certainly the Islamists killing people bear primary responsibility, but I don't think that Newsweek can be absolved from blame - they knew what printing this would do, and *at best* didn't care if their claims were true or not.
