The bush administration was very critical of newsweek, if you don't believe political pressure (direct or indirect) led to the retraction then you really are nieve....if you want me to explain it in simpler terms and go through the chain of events i'll be happy to do that for you.

I am better than you because my points are based on common sense.

it only takes an oz of common sense to understand politicians don't always tell the truth and you sometimes have to read between the lines.
also newsweek's retraction wasnt a full and frank retraction, it was a very weak one...

No they didn't. I saw the interview they had with the Newsweek guy. They said the Pentagon didn't even respond when they sent the article in. They waited like 11 days for an okay, but nothing, so they printed it. I would have done the same if I didn't get any response, but you have to admit, there is a difference.

I read they recieved approval, but if that is the case I stand corrected.

Desecration of Koran Had Been Reported Before
By Carol D. Leonnig
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, May 18, 2005; Page A12
Newsweek magazine's now-retracted story that a military guard at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, flushed a copy of the Koran down a toilet has sparked angry denunciations by the White House and the Pentagon, which have linked the article to Muslim riots and deaths abroad.
But American and international media have widely reported similar allegations from detainees and others of desecration of the Muslim holy book for more than two years.

The story has been around for months as I've said multiple times, and still the bigots are arguing what happened in Afghanistan is entirely the fault of Newsweek. Hysterical.
