An allegation, printed in a Newsweek report, about interrogators at Guantanamo Bay flushing the Qur’an down a toilet in order to provoke detainees into talking, has lead to at least 15 deaths and numerous injuries in Muslim riots around the Middle East. The anonymous source for that information has backed off, and the Pentagon has called Qur’an desecration charges “not credible,” leaving Newsweek with their dick in their bloodstained hands. Way to go, guys!
