3. Geez, wouldn't it be better if THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DID IT apologize?

What a load.

[Hobarticus]

4. Great...I'll retract my subscription, tonight.

Crappy mag anyway.

5. Will the admin use this gaff

and the riots it caused as an excuse to say that the war in Iraq has been irrevocably damaged and get out. And then blame it on the "liberal" media for ruining our chances? Conveniently leaving the military open to make war elsewhere?

Eh, kind of far-fetched, isn't it.

6. I'm sure they'll find someone to fire over this ....

even though there were multiple sources for this story. I think the decision makers at Newsweek are cowards if there are multiple sources for this story and they chose to retract it

7. Probably got a call

"All your reporters will be expelled from gov't functions" etc...

[Bethany Rockafella]

Rove has won again.

12. The biggest irony..

Is that the people responsible for these retractions hardly need to work another day in their pampered lives. They are wealthy, invested and diversified so they are, for all real purposes, above meaningful attack.

But they kiss ass and roll over anyway, even tho they have nothing to lose. Hey, when was too much ever enough anyway?

[Bethany Rockafella]

13. We can only imagine the amount of pressure from the White House

that Newsweek endured to get them to restract the story.
