Look at the headline.. Pentagon confirms Quran incident at Gitmo
nothing in this story says anything about flushing it down the toilet so how is it confirmed? Misleading headline? MSM at it again?

Pentagon confirms Quran incident at Gitmo

The actual title on the link provided is:

U.S. confirms Gitmo soldier kicked Quran

Hopefully the MSM won't pick up the FR title...

Exactly. I was just going to say the same thing.

The only "Koran incident" that comes to most people's minds is the Newsweek story about a Koran being flushed down a toilet. When anyone (including me) reads a headline "Pentagon Confirms Koran Incident" the first thing that comes to mind is that the Pentagon confirmed the Newsweek story about Koran flushing. Of course the article says nothing of the sort.

Another example of a misleading headline meant to confuse those who simply scan the headlines or hear the blow-dried news "personalities" read it on the air.

The MSM sucks.

Exactly my thought when I read the title. MSM really hates President Bush.

Wonder how many Moslem brethren will be killed in rioting this weekend?

AP would argue that headline says nothing about a toilet either. Just that an unspecified incident involving the Qu'ran at Gitmo had been confirmed.

Know what you mean, but think the verdit would have to be "not proven", though with a raised eyebrow, of course.
