(CNN) -- Newsweek magazine issued a retraction Monday of a May 9 report on the alleged desecration of the Quran at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Give up ted.....it's embarrassing and a waste of time...

""This is a decision by America to save itself. It comes because of American pressure. Even an ordinary illiterate peasant understands this and won't accept it.""

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.

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.
