1 I'm waiting for Newsweek to explain (Rather-style) that although the actual event of flushing a Koran down a toilet at Gitmo didn't actually occur, someone at Gitmo once *thought* about doing that - and in fact, it may have happened at some other place and time - which makes the story fake but accurate. Sort of.

2 Newsweek lied. People died. That's my protest chant going forward.

3 Well, that's one of the most fascinating things about this: all those people who pounce on any perceived inaccuracy in a Bush Administration statement are largely silent on this. Why? Because the Koran-flushing story made the military and intel people look bad. Which must be good. Therefore we'll run with the story. Even though it's patently absurd: since when would it be possible to flush all the pages of nearly any book down a toilet?--much less a big religious tome?
