MSNBC calls it a PARTIAL retraction!!
Advertisements [?]
KABUL - The firestorm of anger continued Monday over Newsweek’s handling of a story that alleged U.S. interrogators desecrated the Quran as Muslim leaders and the Bush administration both blasted the magazine’s partial retraction of the piece.

And in the "I went there so you wouldn't have to" department, foxnews.com has part of this evening's statement from newsweek...

"Based on what we know now, we are retracting our original story that an internal military investigation had uncovered Koran abuse at Guantanamo Bay," editor Mark Whitaker said in a statement released Monday evening.

Nota bene, the wording is very specific..."retracting our original story that an internal military investigation had uncovered Koran abuse..."

They aren't denying the Koran abuse, they're denying that an internal military investigation uncovered it.

Just sayin', is all...
