Really, how many Afgans read Newsweek? Maybe 2?

Most of the American Media is bitch-whipped by the government.
In regards to the media...LOL. As to Afgani Newsweek readers, you're probably correct. Unfortunately though, they don't need to read the article or even know what Newsweek is to hear "US flushes Koran". IMO, the media needs to be held MUCH more accountable for the integrity of the information they provide. A quite "oops" doesn't repair the damage they wreak.

I'm so sick of the world critsizing the US on our interrogation and detainment practicies. US custody is a party compared to just about all other places in the world. Ironically, those detainees at Guantanamo probably have neither eaten or been housed as well as they have at their holding in Cuba.

Hey, let's crucify the world leader in civil liberites, human rights, charity, and peace-keeping operations over exceedingly minute allegations made by religous zealous whos mission is to KILL and DESTROY. Sure their word is more reliable than the US's!

Why on earth are people victimizing the criminals?
