The White House said Tuesday the United States' image abroad had suffered irreparable damage from a now-retracted Newsweek article alleging that American interrogators of suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, desecrated the Quran, the Muslim holy book.
The administration used the Newsweek incident to criticize other, unnamed news organizations. "One of the concerns is that some media organizations have used anonymous sources that are hiding behind that anonymity in order to generate negative attacks," said presidential spokesman Scott McClellan. But he said the administration's own use of anonymous sources was not a major problem.
