Newsweek finally fully retracted its story, and the libertarian uber-linker Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) offered this own opinion regarding liberal hypocrisy and their manufactured outrage over this now-false abridgement of religious rights (and the more general Guantanamo “torture” charges) I want to add that I don’t think there’s anything immoral about flushing a Koran (or a…
From the OpinionJournal.com, offered without comment: Liberal Fundamentalism Who are the intolerant extremists?
