And they call this Journalism

So Newseek has saw fit to retract their story about the supposed Koran desecration at Guantanamo Bay. How did we get to this point? Newsweek relied on a single source who now cannot remember where he saw the allegation. They then went to two Pentagon sources who apparently didn't deny the report which Newsweek took to mean tacit confirmation, and then counted them as sources.

You'd be better off reading Weekly World News. At least their stories sometimes might be true. And they aren't partially responsible for the deaths of 17 people.
