#1 Gen. Myers told reporters in Washington that Army Gen. Bantz J. Craddock, the head of U.S. Southern Command, has been in Guantanamo for the last couple of days digging into this issue to see if there was a time when the Koran was not respected.

Why should this be a concern to the point of sending a general down there to poke around? If a Bible wasn't "respected", would the General Staff send some high-ranking officer down to Guantanamo to investigate? I would think not.

#2 The terrorists who took over the church were dealt with very effectively by IDF long gunners using a remote weapon mounted atop a crane 200 meters away. It was credited with solving the siege. We help where we can.

#3 The travesty of truth is laid bare at the foot of the Newsweek editor who allowed this story to go out the way it did. Shame on him/her for very poor journalistic judgement that once again shows the media's disdain for the security of our men and women in uniform. Unlike Eason's theory of targetting, this "is" a case of the media specifically targetting US troops.
