I was listening to a Newsweek editor last night, and he was saying that they retracted the story only because their source couldn't confirm that the incident was mentioned in one particular military document, not because the story wasn't true.

Of course that's the reason........and the source can't 'remember' because the source is scared. He/she is seeing the reaction in the Muslim world and knows that if the WH finds out who he/she is, his/her life will be a living hell........there will be another crucifixion.

Normally a publication would probably not retract a story over a detail like that. This "retraction" was almost certainly generated under duress from the Pentagon and White House.

Of course it was..........the people at Newsweek are scared. Every one in the world understands what's happening.......even the lowly Afghan peasant. No one is fooled except those who want to be fooled like Harris and Ten.
