Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

And causes you to forget that in 2005, Newsweek falsely reported that US interrogators at Guantanamo, as part of their "torture" regimen, were flushing copies of the Koran down the toilet.  On cue, the liberal wing of the chattering class said, once again, but ever more loudly, "See, we told you so.  If this is not a Bush policy, it's at least being done with the Administration's tacit approval."

This time there's nothing false about the reports from Afghanistan of our burning copies of the Koran.  We've even apologized for it.

And I'm still waiting for the outrage from the left wing of the chattering class.
