Today, we decided not to go out to Fruita, Colorado this summer. Now, we have to come up with a "Plan B".

Quote the AP: Newsweek magazine has apologized for errors in a story alleging that interrogators at the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay desecrated the Koran, saying it would re-examine the accusations, which sparked outrage and deadly protests in Afghanistan.

Fifteen people died and scores were injured in violence between protesters and security forces, prompting U.S. promises to investigate the allegations. "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," Newsweek Editor Mark Whitaker wrote in a note to readers.

"We regret that we got any part of our story wrong...". We regret? We regret that we can not make it to a Flag Day Picnic. Somethings can not be fixed with "We regret..." An even worse thought is that the story might be true and Newsweek was forced to say they were wrong.

This isn't pretty.
