Am I the only person who doesn't get it? These are Muslims in India protesting the latest American press debacle. These two guys seem to be pals, and their beautiful hand-lettered signs appear to have been made by the same person. Sooo... Newsweek should be banned because... wait, why? Because they "lied" about the Quran being desecrated? OK, and Bush should apologize why? Because Newsweek didn't lie and the Quran was desecrated? Am I misinterpreting something here?

Perhaps the sign on the left means that they think that Newsweek should be banned because they apologized for the report.
After hearing Michael Ratner this week in radio interview where he pointed out that this is basically old news, I too am wondering why Newsweek crumpled so easily.
"...These reports, as well as documents disclosed by the Government in the FOIA litigation brought by the CCR and others, reveal a systemic use of religious humiliation that includes, in addition to desecration and mishandling of the Koran..."
Here is a link to the CCR statement quoted above:
