Newsweek says it won’t accept the resignation of Michael Isikoff for his untrue story of interrogators who flushed the Koran down a toilet in plain sight of Muslim detainees.
The story set off riots around the Middle East, causing injury to many and death to 17 people.
It seems that Isikoff had a little “bad intell” and people died because of it. Isn’t that something a feller is supposed to lose his job over?
And blaming the Pentagon is laughable. “Well, our source at the Pentagon told us and we figured if they were telling us, then it was true.”
Basically, Newsweek is saying that reporters are more important than the story.
