All the News That's Fit to Slur...America Media Slander Jack Kelly shares the outrage of many when reading misleading headlines like the one that graced his own newspaper (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) Thursday, which read: FBI told of Qur'an abuses. <<< The headline's wording and the display's prominence gave the casual reader the impression the story - written by Neil Lewis of the New York Times - was new, and that the story was true. Neither is so. >>> Jack asks point blank (as do a great many of us): <<< Why is so much of the media giving so much prominence to a recycled story of unsubstantiated charges by U.S. enemies who have been told to make false accusations if captured? The immediate answer is to bail out Newsweek, whose reputation suffered when its false story of Qur'an abuse sparked rioting in which 16 people were killed. But, as Mr. Lewis acknowledged deep in his story, "the disclosures yesterday did not lend any new support to the specific assertions in the original Newsweek item." >>> Read the entire article.

...."So, the General is saying Koran abuse was standard operating procedure at the time?" Nice attempt to form an alternate reality. But then ignoring facts that make your spin completely false comes as no surprise. We've learned to expect outright lies & blatant distortions from you, haven't we? There was ZERO "abuse" of the Koran. As they said at the press conference, the 5 incidents amounted to, at worst, "mishandling" as the guards went about their duties properly. "None of these five incidents was a result of a failure to follow standard operating procedures in place at the time the incident occurred," Hood said.
