Argument du jour
Well leave it to my favorite Michael Savage fan to bring me the daily talking point we're "supposed to be talking about."
Newsweek issued a story that the Koran was flushed down the toilet by US soldiers then retracted the story. It caused riots in Afghanistan.
My first thought was gee are there really that many Afghan readers of Newsweek? I mean pictures of Us soldiers sodimizing detainees have been circulated for years--that's just fine but once they read the newsweek story then "come on, Abdul, lets riot!"
It turns out my instincts were right --at least according to the US State department. http://usinfo.state.gov/is/Archive/2005/May/13-299433.html
Those riots had nothing to do with the Newsweek story.
Of course all the KTTH hacks were asking if criminal charges should be braught against Newsweek for reporting what the international red cross has been saying for years.
I remember a fake story that came out in 2002 that started the whole war. What was that again? Anthrax... Dirty Bombs.... Remote control drones that could reach our shores in 45 minutes... There's where your criminal charges should be filed.
