Last week Newsweek magazine reported a story that accused U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo Bay of desecrating the Quran.  Gee, after 15 lives are lost during rioting over the report, Newsweek says, "Oops!"  Irresponsible reporting again. 

From Yahoo News:

"NEW YORK – In an apology to readers this week, Newsweek acknowledged errors in a story alleging U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo Bay desecrated the Quran. The accusations, which the magazine vowed to re-examine, spawned protests in  Afghanistan that left 15 dead and scores injured.
 
Responding to harsh criticism from Muslim leaders worldwide, the     Pentagon promised to investigate the charges and pinned the deadly clashes on Newsweek for what it described as "irresponsible" reporting.

"We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst," Editor Mark Whitaker wrote in the apology.

Newsweek reported that U.S. military investigators had found evidence that interrogators placed copies of Islam's holy book in washrooms and had flushed one down the toilet to get inmates to talk."
