NEW YORK - In an apology to readers this week, Newsweek acknowledged errors in a story alleging U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo Bay desecrated the Quran. The accusations, which the magazine vowed to re-examine, spawned protests in Afghanistan that left 15 dead and scores injured. Responding to harsh criticism from Muslim leaders worldwide, the Pentagon promised to investigate the charges and pinned the deadly clashes on Newsweek for what it described as "irresponsible" reporting.
Rant below the fold.
Are they fucking
kidding??? After lying to the American people and to the WORLD to coerce us into a war we never would have agreen upon had we known that the reasons being given were lies, they have the balls to demand a retraction from Newsweek?
I think Newsweek has it dead on. I think that for once we had some real journalism. I think that the riots weren't caused by Newsweek... they were caused by a careless and morally devoid administration who has been lying from day one and who has stained the reputation of America.
I cannot believe this White House. I used to think that people who compared this administration with the Nazis were going too far. They were RIGHT. Just like Newsweek is right.
This fucking administration is having people arrested for peaceful dissent (RNC convention in New York, for example), they leaked Valerie Plame's name to the press and endangered her life and those who worked with her, they have managed to make it legal to produce its own propaganda and pass it on as news without having to divulge to the American people that they did so.
They are trying their damndest to control the media and the information that the American people have a right to know about.
This fucking administration NEVER. STOPS. From fixing elections and disenfranchising voters to lying to controlling every fucking media facet they can get their hands on... they are ruining this country.
