From the "Dog Ate My Fack-checking" Files
Newsweek is backing off its story that Gestapo U.S. Intelligence Officers desecrated copies of the Koran -including flushing them down toilets - while interrogating prisoners at Auschwitz Gitmo.
Not before major riots in Afghanistan that killed 15 people, injured many more, destroyed lots of property and inflamed Muslim anti-Nazism-Americanism, of course.
But, hey - who's keeping score?
Posted by Robert at May 15, 2005 06:50 PMI hadn't heard of this "Newsweek" blog before. This is why only the main stream media can be trusted with reporting news. They would fact check such a story first, never letting such shoddy reporting get through. They've certainly learned their lesson from Jayson Blair, Jack Kelly, NBC exploding trucks, and Dan Rather's memogate (off the top of my head).

Posted by: babs at May 15, 2005 10:06 PMIt is of course possible that Newsweek was pressured to retract the story and that the report is actually accurate. There is clear evidence of (from our perspective) much worse things going on in our lovely American gulags.
