Via Tex, here's an interesting article questioning the attempts to blame Newsweek's reporting (see also here and here) for the recent riots in Afghanistan.
If it's actually about drugs, and the Afghanis' desire to be able to grow poppies to make them, then it is understandable that the neocons would want to find some way to blame Newsweek, as the alternative is to admit that the Afghanis may not be the wonderful people ready for a modern democracy that we are supposed to believe they are.
That is all.
