It seems that Newsweek now joins CBS News as untrustworthy after retracting a story last Tuesday regarding events at Guantanamo Bay.

In case you haven’t been following the story, Newsweek, in their neverending quest to proliferate Bush-hating reported that US interrogators of Muslin prisoners desecrated the Koran in front of the prisoners.

“Based on what we know now, we are retracting our original story,” said Newsweek Editor Mark Whitaker.

After originally publishing the story, Muslin activists around the world protested violently, which resulted in 15 deaths in Afghanistan.

Again, the Democrat Bush-haters are proliferating the very thing they say they are against: Further death in the way against Iraq.. Now the anti-Bushites will say “If Bush hadn’t been there in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened”. That’s not the point. Regardless of who put us there, UNITED STATES SOLDIERS are there and they are dying for our freedoms. If you can’t support your president, at least support your soldiers and fellow American citizens who are over there.

There is no need to make up stories about the actions of our soldiers under the guise of “hurting the president”. All you are doing is ensuring further action against our country, our citizens, and our soldiers by Muslim activists.

And now that Newsweek has made its apology, Religious leaders in the Afghanistan region are skeptical. Mullah Sadullah Abu Aman, an Islamic cleric in northern Afghanistan told Reuters,

”This is a decision by America to save itself.”

Aman is a leader of a religious group, who on Sunday, threatened to wage a holy war against the United States, its positions and interests in three days unless we turn over the interrogators they believe are responsible for the desecration of the Koran.

General Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Monday,

”We can’t find anything to substantiate the allegation” that interrogators desecrated the Koran. He went on to say “People lost their lives, and that’s unfortunate.”

And that my friends, is enough said.
