Great going!! Newsweek FINALLY retracts story but is anyone in Afghanistan listening or believing?

BTW, what kind of a retractions starts off by saying: "We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst.”

As I mentioned on TFine80's thread, isn't this interesting timing for the retraction? It's nice to think you made a difference, anyway.

What is uncanny is that the first official retraction came about (5:00) and then was later updated (6:30) as we were there.

You have to think that they knew that there were protesters coming or already outside and this affected their behavior, if only a little itty-bit.

Where was the retraction? Buried back near the obits?
