Does this Newsweek Thing Smell?

While all of this furor over the Newsweek thing increases like a tornado... does anyone see disturbing similarities to it and Rathergate and Karl Rove's dirty fingerprints on the Texas Air Nat'l Guard's "forged" documents that proved that Bush was AWOL during Vietnam? Well, it seems that Raw Story does, too ( i.e. --the info is legit but "fake" or "forged" so it loses all credibility despite being legit) and maybe the Guardian UK has uncovered the reason behind the furor: It will take the focus off of the damning revelation that the Bush administration was made aware of illegal oil sales and kickbacks paid to the Saddam Hussein regime in the Oil for Food scandal, but did nothing to stop them. Or what about this from Think Progress? There were already BIG troubles brewing well before the Newsweek article came out with the Taliban insurgents (yes, they are back & still going strong b/c the money & focus in Iraq makes it so)... and once again, Keith Olbermann gets it that something smells rotten in Denmark, and that the stench may emanate from Scott McClellan. Check out Corrente Blog's take on how many times it has previously been reported that US personnel has disgraced the Koran way before Newsweek reported it. Read what MSNBC & Newsweek have to say on the whole issue, but frankly, we have smeared fake menstrual blood on the detainees, sodomized them, made them eat their food out of the toilet, and forced them to masturbate-- is throwing the Koran into the toilet out of the question?
