the man who could not say sorry for his sinsWritten by malcolm james pugh

they are yesterdays forgotten, though daily they still mount, no thought of resignation, no apology to those left behind, just onward with ego, fast forward from those times, as if nothing ever happened, as if your lies are quite ok, as if now is what to focus on, and then was another day, lost back in mists of time, obscured by clouds half seen not an affront to living, not impeachable and obscene, you may want to move on now, and ignore your past infamy, but you should be tried for treason, and jailed for blasphemy

Continued from page 1
The Newsweek writers responsible for article obviously didn't check authenticity of report, since report had been found eventually to be baseless and untrue. They relied too much on knowledgeability of their government source. The utter lack of sensitivity is also problem here. Even if report was true, weekly magazine shouldn't have mentioned it in article. And if they have really gotten hold of such a report, they should have alerted government against such offensive and dangerous practice by military. The U.S. government has been trying it's best to project a good image within Muslim world in its bid to curtail insurgencies in troubled Iraq and Afghanistan. But alas, Newsweek article is a big blow to its campaign. It will take months, perhaps years, and a lot of diplomatic kowtowing to undo what has been done. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would probably have to go back to Iraq secretly again to appease our Muslim brothers in that region. I wonder, however, since report has already been found to be untrue, where did idea of Koran being flushed down come from?
