Newsweek offers reparations

p — 5/16/2005 8:21:46 PM (archived)

In an effort to help in the grieving process, the magazine's publisher said that immediate family members of the dead would receive a free 90-day trial subscription to Newsweek. "If they're done grieving after 90 days, they can write 'cancel' on the invoice and pay nothing," he said. "Otherwise we'll just bill their credit cards in three easy installments at a substantial savings off the newstand price."

    - Facts: Like Newsweek saying US troops burned the Koren (Qur'an) when they did not, which results in Afgan violence. - REB - 5/16/2005 8:57:38 PM
      - LOL Now book burning is up there with death, torture and rape? - Lindy - 5/17/2005 2:32:29 AM
        
        You don't understand the fanatical asshles who are out there. (n/t) - David F Mayer - 5/17/2005 5:40:18 PM
      - Wow, REB. Get the facts straight- it was about flushing the Koran/Qua'ran/Qur'an in a john (plus, I love the Irony) - Davin L, - 5/16/2005 9:08:27 PM
        
        Yes, Newsweek falsely claimed American troops had flushed the Koran down the toilet. I was thinking burned. You got me there you. - REB - 5/16/2005 9:27:13 PM
        
        How do you flush the koran down the toilet? That's a pretty thick wad of paper. - SDF - 5/17/2005 3:53:37 PM
        
        More bullpuckey, with a strawman argument thrown in to boot- AND a challenge to my patriotism - Davin L. - 5/16/2005 9:40:12 PM
        
        You are still trying to draw this argument away from the fact Newsweek screwed up which has caused violence in Afgan and hurt the US/Afgan relationship. - REB - 5/16/2005 9:45:42 PM
        
        LOL. No, your trying to draw this away from the fact - Davin L. - 5/16/2005 9:53:29 PM
    - correction - Davin L. - 5/16/2005 8:56:23 PM
      - Whatever. They caused violence in Afghanistan based on untruiths. - REB - 5/16/2005 8:59:37 PM
