Both in its current issue and all over TV yesterday, Newsweek has been apologizing for a report in its May 9th edition that reported American guards at Bay had desecrated the Koran. The story was linked to deadly riots in Afghanistan and Pakistan that led to the deaths of 17 people and countless threats against U.S. troops.

However, as the New York Times notes, “the magazine, while acknowledging possible errors in the article, stopped short of retracting it.”
