Something odd about the Newsweek story
Something seemed a little odd about the Newsweek story that supposedly triggered deadly riots in Afghanistan. First of all, stories have been out for some time about American & British soldiers desecrating the Quran. It makes no sense that little Newsweek blurb would "trigger" riots when it was old news. Secondly, it was odd that while Newsweek has been the center of the story, little mention has been made on what reporter and/or editor screwed up. I mean it was not just CBS that went down, it was Dan Rather. When the NY Times got in trouble it was because of Jayson Blair. Well here is the scoop on the controversial past of the writer. And this not the first time they have made of mockery of true journalistic integrity. I'm Chaz Atlas and that's how I see it.
