politics: Idiots.

Newsweek retracts story on Koran under pressure.

Yes, the story sparked riots. And yes, people died. But you know what? I find their anger quite justifiable. Rioting, murder ... those things I can't abide. But here's what people seem to be missing: This is not a new story, and the story was accurate.

If people want to be angry, they should be angry with the people who defiled the Koran and the command structure that directed it. Find out how often this occurs and has occurred ... hundreds, maybe thousands of interrogators across the face of the globe didn't, simply and coincidentally, arrive at the same choice of tactic by accident.

When I think of what these people are doing in my name it makes me sick, it makes me feel defiled. It makes me very angry.

And bad luck to the spineless suits at Newsweek who lost their concern for the truth back around the same time they lost their souls.
