Newsweek, the reporters and editors have have blood on their hands!
Newsweek reported that U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo Bay desecrated the Koran, ripping it up and flushing it down the toilet. They now admit that this report was false, but the damage has been done. There have been riots across the Middle East and people are still dyeing today.
Newsweek magazine said on Sunday it erred in a May 9 report that U.S. interrogators desecrated the Koran at Guantanamo Bay, and apologized to the victims of deadly Muslim protests sparked by the article.
Editor Mark Whitaker said the magazine inaccurately reported that U.S. military investigators had confirmed that personnel at the detention facility in Cuba had flushed the Muslim holy book down the toilet.
The report sparked angry and violent protests across the Muslim world from
Afghanistan, where 16 were killed and more than 100 injured, to Pakistan to Indonesia to Gaza. In the past week it was condemned in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Malaysia and by the Arab League.On Sunday, Afghan Muslim clerics threatened to call for a holy war against the United States.
“We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst,” Whitaker wrote in the magazine’s latest issue, due to appear on U.S. newsstands on Monday.
What will Newsweek do to make up for the deaths? Nothing of course, oops, so sorry…
Now the media’s false reports are killing people, hope they are proud of their handiwork.

This is a harsh thing to say, but I think it needs to be said.
The MSM is the enemy.
They are willing to tell lies and make up evidence because they hate Bush so much, they want America to fail while he is in charge, so later they can write the history and talk about how Bush was such a failure and a moron and a nazi.
Fortunately, people are starting to see through this, and blogs such as this one are telling the side of the story the MSM doesn’t want them to hear.
