Thanks, Newsweek.


UPDATE:
Cox & Forkum and others have this to say.

Well, it turns out that "Newsweek" got the story about US forces desecrating the Koran WRONG.

How many people died as a result of this mistake? How many people still believe this story to be true, and will direct their anger against the US? After hearing of this story, how many Muslims went down to sign up with their local "muj recruiter?" More importantly, how many more people will die as a direct or indirect result of this shoddy reporting "whoopsie?"

I wonder how much more it will take for people to realize that major news media get it WRONG sometimes (or, much of the time, depending on your view). Whatever happened to good ol' fashioned fact-checking? How about vetting your sources?

Cartoonist Chris Muir, over at Day by Day, has this to say.

Well said, my son!
Wish the news media would publish YOUR comments instead of some of that stuff they put forth as true and real.
