If you haven't seen it you might want to read the CounterPunch article on Newsweek's cowardly retraction.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3680412

confirmed that abuse was going on (citing a senior official form the Pentagon)--as I understand it -and these other sources (I have read several but not all) --the allegations of abuse of the Koran comes from the detainees themselves.

This a major difference--and I am NOT saying that the detainees should not believe--just that this difference is seldom articulated in the press. Correct me if I am wrong

Ps--I posted my comment (above) on a related article on DU--but these threads go so fast lately that I am posting it again as I think it deserves attention. Thanks

I want to put this in the face of a real nasty repuke, I did use the ones that did work.
Thanks

the Newsweek art. and the these other other souurces--which come from the detainees themselves (the ones I read anyway).

to retract--says he is confused (the senior Pentagon official)?

But i am very critical of the WH-Scotty playing the victim (and Condi and Rummy and and.....). they are the hypocrites.

I mean, that Kuwaiti princess/whatever who claimed that she saw the Iraqi armies dumping Kuwaiti infants from their incubators and left to die.

Even though she was away from the country and in a safe location long before and during the "atrocities" . . .

The scandal is that Isikoff didn't foresee that his ranking U.S. Government source might, under pressure, retract the story. As a result, here are the new rules at Newsweek on publishing stories based on leaks:

A. No article based on an anonymous source that in any way reflects badly on the US Government abroad will be published unless it is confirmed by a second official source.

B. That confirmation must be:

1) supported by an affidavit swearing that the second source would never recant the story, even if Richard Armitage puts a gun to that second source's head;

2) written in the blood of the second source after passing test 1, above;

3) that blood be certified by an FBI-approved DNA lab as identifiably belonging to the attestant.

These rules are designed to assure freedom of the press. Enjoy your new freedom.
