re: discuss and debate what I said
Well, I can understand your interpretation given the heading- but blaming newsweek for the seething anger in the Islamic world over US treatment of prisoners and respect for islam in the treatment of prisoners is MIGHTY simplistic. As I said- newsweek is a log smouldering in the fire, but you have to admit that we have been dumping lots of gasoline on the fire.
""Did not deny" is NOT confirmation of a fact. From what I've read, the other sources never even addressed that part of it. "
But realistically, thats probably as much vetting as ANY newspaper or agency does. The other sources objected to other parts of the document (undisclosed whjat the other parts were.)
