try the sauce

NEWSWEeK STUFF
* isikoff: "A controversial exile movement cited by President George W. Bush as a source of information on Iran's nuclear ambitions is condemned for psychologically and physically abusing its own members in a new report by Human Rights Watch."
lol - he even titles the article: "Consider the Source" LINK

* david brooks: "Maybe we should all focus on what's important. Newsweek's little item was seized and exploited by America's enemies in a way that was characteristically cynical, delusional and fascistic... The rioters are the real enemy" LINK

* " it's astounding that our press has such a hard time covering Memogate without abandoning the National Guard story and covering Newsweek's fumble without continuing to get to the bottom of abuses at Guantanamo." LINK

* "After riots in which 17 people died, the Bush administration pointed the finger of blame at Newsweek. The White House began a series of demands on the magazine, as though it were a rogue state." LINK
just cos its funny

* "Meantime at the White House, Press Secretary Scott McClellan today got a little more specific about what he meant when he said yesterday that Newsweek had to help repair the "damage.” He wants its editors to appear on Arab television networks to explain the story and how badly they screwed it up." LINK

* cnn is doing the icrc story backing up newsweek, and the text says: "newsweek fallout continues"
