2. Headline today:

Newsweek was wrong about the Quran-story


The story synopses about the Quran-flushing, how the incident has enraged Muslims around the world, and so on.

"Not credible information
A spokesman for Pentagon contacted the magazine on Friday to explain that the information printed in the article wasn't credible. The magazine's source in the Govt. has later explained that the information he had was gonna make it into official reports."

This is a liberal tabloid, and they've had two articles previous to this one.

Here's the articles:
