ACLU: Can't Recant

Everyone but the ACLU appears to know that the detained terrorist behind the Koran flushing allegations admitted he lied and witnessed no such event. The ACLU's news release that started the latest kerfuffle is still on its Web site uncorrected. Not that facts should ever get in the way of ideology.

Meanwhile at the NYTimes and WashPost, both of which blasted the ACLU release across their front pages yesterday (links in this CSM post) hid behind the Pentagon's release of new information on "Koran abuse" (Oh, please!) to not have to directly say the ACLU had misreported.

The important news from the Pentagon is that the incidents were minor and preceded the drafting of guidelines, so efforts by the ACLU and MSM to exploit this story for their anti-military agendas have failed. I wonder if they'll notice.
