is it just me?

Am I the only person in the country who wonders if the widely noted report in Newsweek magazine, regarding the desecration of the Qua'ran might have a bit of truth to it, and that the subsequent retraction was bogus? I mean, really, the acts that were described did'nt seem unlikely, in light of what we have heard about the goings on at the various interment facilities, (not to mention fraternity houses). (I have no way of knowing the answer to this, it simply seems that these reports spring from something besides a fertile imagination). Given the photographic evidence of other incidents, and the abundance of other reports of this type, it is not a significant leap to imagine that such an "atrocity" actually took place. It is not unlike some of the tactics employed by our own domestic police forces during the peak of the civil rights movement, and honestly, it would not be something that would be strongly objectionable in our legal culture. In this day and age, I do not believe that it is out of the question that a government, (and I separate that term from "an administration"), might bring some pressure to bear on a news agency when there are compelling reasons to do so, to retract an otherwise true story when the publication of the story has significant ramifications to the wartime efforts of that government.

I am just wondering, that all.
