Newsweek retracted its report about the desecration of the Qur’an not because its story was wrong. It was forced to do it because of the mounting pressures from the US government and the violence that the story caused.
Guantanamo Bay is the place where human rights abuses are the norm, and it is not surprising that the Qur’an was desecrated there. Aside from that, nobody can rely on any investigation conducted by the US military. It would never put itself in bad light.
