Isn't the New York Times (and perhaps the rest of the media) failing to accurately report what happened? Newsweek has not stated that abuse of the Koran did not occur by US military forces. What its very carefully worded retraction said was that it was retracting the claim that "an internal military investigation had uncovered Koran abuse at Guantanamo Bay." That's very different from the headline the NYT is using: "Newsweek Retracts Account of Koran Abuse By US Military." One says they couldn't back up the claim that an internal investigation had made the abuse official. The other one says no abuse occurred I can see the White House trying to smudge the difference. But shouldn't the rest of the media be aware of what Newsweek actually did and report it more accurately?
