Nonstory of the Century
not true but oughta be. but not. ‘cept we want it to be. but it’s not. sorta.
Exhibit A
AP A prisoner at Guantanamo Bay who complained that a military guard threw a Quran holy book in the toilet has since recanted the story, senior Pentagon officials said Thursday.
Exhibit B
Virtually every major news agency in the world has reported without verification that between 15 and 18 Afghanis were killed in the riots. ...Not a single name of even one victim has been released. No details of the circumstances of the riots were released from any official sources – either U.S. or Afghan. [emph mine e-C]
Exhibit C
JERUSALEM – Muslim protests throughout the Middle East regarding a now-retracted Newsweek report that claimed U.S. Army interrogators at Guantanamo Bay had flushed a Quran down the toilet are being organized by anti-Western jihadists and were planned several months ago with the magazine article serving as a convenient trigger, a senior Israeli security source told WND.
He warned that if not quelled, the gatherings can turn into violent mass anti-American revolts.
So, naturally Deep Throat is back in the headlines.
*sigh*
