David Korn thinks this whole flapdoodle by the Bushies about the Koran abuse is to get the MI-5 memo out of the news until it's stale.

Ya, that's why they had to retract the story & admit they only had one source who was unreliable after all. "What we know is that the Newsweek story about a Koran desecration is demonstrably false, and thus far there have not been any credible allegations of willful Koran desecration, and Newsweek hasn't produced any such evidence either." "The fact is Newsweek hid behind anonymous sources, which by their own admission don't withstand any sort of scrutiny. The unfortunate part about it is you can't go back and undo or retract the damage that they've done not only to this nation, but those who have been hacked, injured and some even killed as a result of these false allegations." Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman

U.S. military officials said investigators have not found allegations of the willful desecration of the Quran at Guantanamo to be credible. Air Force General Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters on Capitol Hill May 16 that 25,000 documents have been reviewed “and there’s no indication that anything like that happened.” Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said reporters need to be careful what they say because, in this case, “people lost their lives.” usinfo.state.gov
