While Newsweek admits an error in reporting, reporter Evan Thomas suggests (click here for article) that it's all the military's fault since they've abused so many Muslim already:

Given all that has been reported about the treatment of detainees....the reports of Qur'an desecration seemed shocking but not incredible.

Let me get this straight: Newsweek reports a phony story, violence erupts and people die, yet the smear campaign of US Soldiers continues. This is more than outrageous.
