#3 Figures. Change the editors of Newsweek with treason and sedition and aiding the enemy in times of war and have them hung outside the capital building.

#6 Poor Newsweek. No dead Americans from its coverage.

#7 I suspect the demonstrations were orchestrated by the local madrasa(s). These rumors have been floating around for years, together with a bunch of fantastic accusations - since prisoners started getting released. Newsweek's sources are probably the prisoners themselves.

Even if the accusations are true, I really don't see a problem - except from a PR standpoint - would I desecrate Das Kapital, the Bible, the Talmud or the Bhagavad Gita to get information from a prisoner? Sure I would. Is it preferable to depriving him of sleep? Sure it is.
