ANDREW SULLIVAN ON
NEWSWEEK. I've got to get chomping on something
else this afternoon, so I'll try to make this my last post on the
subject for now. But here's
Andrew Sullivan on the
Newsweek matter:
We have yet to see what's
at the root, if anything, of the Newsweek story. But I think it's
telling that some bloggers have devoted much, much more energy to
covering the Newsweek error than they ever have to covering any
sliver of the widespread evidence of detainee abuse that made the
Newsweek piece credible in the first place. A simple question:
after U.S. interrogators have tortured over two dozen detainees to
death, after they have wrapped one in an Israeli flag, after they
have smeared naked detainees with fake menstrual blood, after they
have told one detainee to "Fuck Allah," after they have ordered
detainees to pray to Allah in order to kick them from behind in
the head, is it completely beyond credibility that they would also
have desecrated the Koran?
Sullivan's answer: no, of course
not. Read it all.
