AFGHANISTAN: Taliban Get a Boost from American Media

May 12, 2005: Anti-American protests have spread to the capital, sparked by an unsubstantiated accusations by a U.S. newsmagazine. Newsweek magazine published a hearsay item about American interrogators at Guantanamo desecrating the Koran to intimidate suspected terrorists. The Taliban has been trying to spread similar stories, but have no credibility. American media has more clout, even if the story in question is basically a rumor. The pro-Taliban groups will push this story as much as they can, but the Taliban support is basically restricted to some Pushtun tribes in southern and eastern Afghanistan."


Oh well, let's close down Newsweek. Who knew they were that powerful! Give me a break..........the rumor is no rumor, its the truth. We did much worse in Gitmo than put the Koran in a beaker of urine. And you think someone is making it up?

This is ole Rummie's doing.......put the blame on him....not Newsweek! Come on, Tim, for once, I would like to see you or some GOPer put the blame where it really belongs!
