While this story doesn't directly apply to the practice of law, plenty of Law.com blog affiliates are talking about Newsweek magazine's decision to publish, to correct and ultimately to retract a story that American interrogators were desecrating copies of the Quran (read Newsweek's statement here).

  • Norm Pattis writes Toiletgate: "Definition of the term lie: A Bush administration flak moving his or her lips on the war on terror. Newsweek magazine this week published a semi-apology about a Koran's being flushed down a toilet at Guantanamo ..."
