Newsweek Should Be Flushed

Eager to publish any negative news against the U.S. Military and the war in Iraq, Newsweek Magazine published a "news" article by Michael Isikoff on May 9 stating that U.S. military in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba had flushed a copy of the Koran down the toilet. This rumor was found to be untrue, and Newsweek admitted it, but has refused to retract* the story. Meanwhile, the Newsweek article has already angered Moslems, and in Afghanistan and Pakistan, over a dozen people were killed and hundreds were injured in rioting over the Newsweek article. There is no telling at the number of people who will continue to be killed over the inflammation that Newsweek has caused.

Newsweek should be flushed down the toilet.

* Newsweek later retracted. Story.
