Molly says, "Don't Blame Newsweek"
http://www.workingforchange.com/article.cfm?itemid=19061

Uh, people, I hate to tell you this, but the story about Americans abusing the Koran in order to enrage prisoners has been out there for quite some time.

So let's drop the "Lynch Newsweek" bull. Seventeen people have died in these riots. They didn't die because of anything Newsweek did -- the riots were caused by what our government has done.

2. True, but have you herad RW radio on this?
Cuckoobananas strikes deep.

I can't believe the vitriolic, twisted rationalizing that goes on within that twisted, self-indulgent mentality.

They are the true enemy of America. Without them, we wouldn't be at war with Iraq and we wouldn't have the bloodthirsty Bush cabal in power.

14. Well, that's them. Waddaya expect? They're just bonkers.
In their ugly little world, an act of conscience is simply an act of treason.

8. If you had watched CBS Evening News tonight,
you would have led to believe that Newsweek is responsible for ALL of the Anti-American sentiment in the Middle East.
Newsweek didn't help itself by rolling over in contrite supplication at his masters feet begging for forgiveness.

As far as our Government is concerned, it is a public relations matter. The Torture and Abuse is NOT the problem. The problem is people REPORTING the Abuse and Torture.


Go MOLLY!!!!!

11. The abuse prisoner have been reporting this for some time now.
This is a holy book even if it is not the bible and therefore should be treated properly. I for one believe all books should be treated properly especially religious books of all types.

13. "our" guards at Gitmo are perverts
Just like the perverts in high places in our government. I don't care who's holy book is in question; that kind of action is totally disgusting. Period.
