I think you'd have been better served by not responding to such an ironic observation, but of course you have to have the last word on every single little thing, don't you?

You don't need to reply to this either BTW.

HOWEVER, the reaction is INTENSIFIED because of those things that had already happened. People are way less willing to cut you slack if you have a history of doing stupid things. That's all about credibility, which we are finding less and less of these days.

Yes, I don't doubt it, the rumor was probably enough, and the chance that it is intensified by prior happenings is probably right, but what has that to do about the discussion about newsweek journalists not checking their stories ?

You're doing such a great service to whatever side is opposing you in a "debate".

I concur. Striker absolutely devastated his competition.

A good read, definitely.

Has anyone considered the possibility that the story was true?

Yep.

I was thinking maybe it may be possible that they retracted it to try and contain the damage.

Me too. The damage to the US from this story, given the situation, could be uncalculable. It's very possible, considering the subservient nature of even the liberal media in the US, that Newsweek agreed to take the hit for an accurate story. In any event, I don't think the Arab street will buy the retraction.

Yawn at Koran being flushed, anyhow. Muslims should stop being so goddamn anal about anything concerning their religion. Imagine if fundie christians would go on riots after the WWJD thong debacle.

You give too much credit Ted. These are the same people that are sure that Israel did 9/11. They may have access to a lot of modern communications, but they are largely uneducated and illiterate. It's difficult (to say the least) for them to put reports in perspective, such as waiting for corroboration before getting themselves killed in a riot. We have plenty of people like this in our country, but they are balanced out by and large by people who are educated enough to wait for the other shoe to drop before they rush to their deaths.

Why not? Newsweek put themselves on that level. Though we will have morons like Ted and techumseh who will believe the story even though the person who put it out says it was a lie.
