#2 "we approached two separate Defense Department officials for comment. One declined to give us a response; the other challenged another aspect of the story but did not dispute the Quran charge."
If I am a someone you would consider a source, I certainly would not coment on something, I know nothing about. And i certainley would'nt dispute or confirm such a story I did'nt know about. So what about these two guys not knowing about this incident made a reporter think "it must be true, they are hiding something". Sure wish that was OK with my boss, I'd play a lot more golf.

#3 Paraphrasing a relevent line from the film "Capricorn One"

Reporters are plodders. They look for the little things: like facts.

#4 This is really so tiresome. Reporters are "citizens" but they try to act as if being a "reporter" puts them above "citizenship". As far as I am concerned all 3 of these asstards should be investigeated by the FBI. If they don't give up their source, they should go to jail and stay. We are in a war. They just made it harder to win, willfully made it harder to win. They have given comfort to our foes. These riots didn't just happen. People who want to destroy sanity used this story to stur up trouble and further their aims. Newsweek and these 3 helped them. I hope someone works them over on the street and leaves them their brains leaking out of their ears.
