Newsweek Jihad Fallout Little Green Footballs White House Says Report of Koran Insult Should Be Retracted. <<< “It’s puzzling that while Newsweek now acknowledges that they got the facts wrong, they refused to retract the story,” Mr. McClellan, the White House spokesman, said, according to Reuters. “I think there’s a certain journalistic standard that should be met and in this instance it was not.” Mr. McClellan complained that the Newsweek report was “based on a single anonymous source who could not personally substantiate the allegation that was made.” “The report has had serious consequences,” he said, according to Reuters. “People have lost their lives. The image of the United States abroad has been damaged.” >>> Afghan president unhappy with Newsweek article on Koran. <<< KABUL (AFX) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai has expressed displeasure at the way the US magazine Newsweek handled a story on alleged desecration of the Koran in the Guantanamo detention centre, his spokesman Javed Ludin said today. ‘We express in the strongest terms our disapproval of Newsweek’s approach to reporting which allowed them to run the story without proper examination beforehand,’ Ludin said in a statement. ‘We would like to emphasise the need for a professional and sensitive approach to journalism particularly with regards to reporting on potentially sensitive issues,’ it said. >>> littlegreenfootballs.com nytimes.com forbes.com
