I hate to keep beating a dead horse and I promise not to post any more of these but being ex service and knowing folks died because of this story I can not express my outrage enough. I will however let this be the last word and not continue to beat the Newsweek dead horse. I will just suffice it to say, those bastards.

NEW YORK - Newsweek magazine has apologized for errors in a story alleging that interrogators at the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay desecrated the Quran, saying it would re-examine the accusations, which sparked outrage and deadly protests in
Afghanistan.

Fifteen people died and scores were injured in violence between protesters and security forces, prompting U.S. promises to investigate the allegations. In Afghanistan, Muslim leaders gave Washington three days to offer a response to the story.

"We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst," Newsweek Editor Mark Whitaker wrote in a note to readers.


We regret.

F-you and your regret you pricks.
