Koran being flushed story was fake.

Me too. The damage to the US from this story, given the situation, could be uncalculable. It's very possible, considering the subservient nature of even the liberal media in the US, that Newsweek agreed to take the hit for an accurate story. In any event, I don't think the Arab street will buy the retraction.

[Ted Striker]

Yeah, there is too much damage done already.

[Ted Striker]

Why would people want to flush Koreans down the toilet anyway? Their kim chi is THE BOMB.

Am I still in time to say "Ted Striker "?

Yawn at Koran being flushed, anyhow. Muslims should stop being so goddamn anal about anything concerning their religion. Imagine if fundie christians would go on riots after the WWJD thong debacle.

The closest thing we have to compete with is the Janet Jackson boob incident.

2nd Az. It's not Newsmax fault, it's the fault of the rioters.

[BeBMan]

Yeah, the story must have been wrong. You don't get a Koran through a normal toilet, unless we talk about real monster toilets of course.

Well its actualy the ones released (proclaimed innocent by the US) that make these accusations, when you're caged for 24/7 its kinda hard making accusations to the outside world. Besides, whatever happened to innocent untill proven guilty?

A concept which is a lot newer than held prisoner until the war is over, and a lot less common.

We already set the enviornment by all the torture crap that has gone down

So when they heard the story, of course they believed it

You give too much credit Ted. These are the same people that are sure that Israel did 9/11. They may have access to a lot of modern communications, but they are largely uneducated and illiterate. It's difficult (to say the least) for them to put reports in perspective, such as waiting for corroboration before getting themselves killed in a riot. We have plenty of people like this in our country, but they are balanced out by and large by people who are educated enough to wait for the other shoe to drop before they rush to their deaths.

Why not? Newsweek put themselves on that level. Though we will have morons like Ted and techumseh who will believe the story even though the person who put it out says it was a lie.

[Patroklos]

I'd say they know a lot more about this subject then anyone

The tens of thousands or lawyers, military officers, and intelligence officers whose job is to know.

The vast mority of "experts" are not on your side of the issue atawa, however there side does not make headlines are help your political motives.
