Re: And if the magazine meant to start riots, it didn't do the job, according to the U.S. commander on the ground in Afghanistan, Gen. Carl Eichenberry, who reported to Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, that the rioting was "more tied up in the political process and the reconciliation process that President Karzai and his cabinet is conducting in Afghanistan," and Eichenberry "thought it was not at all tied to the article in the magazine." Despite all that, people write letters to the editor denouncing Newsweek for deliberately harming America's image in the Muslim world, and they attack the magazine's credibility. That's interesting... It somehow hints that the whole Newsweek affair was but a diversionary backfire lit by US intelligence to draw public opinion away from the REAL problem: Karzai's dwindling authority. Indeed, as Gen. Eichenberry acknowledged, Afghan riots would have broken out ANYWAY. Hence the need for the US to link them to some "media manipulation" --the so-called "Evil Liberal Media Conspiracy". A cunning trick that allowed Hamid Karzai to wash his hands from the whole mess.... Gus
