Sue Newsweek
It's time for America's trial lawyers to grab their briefcases and head over to the scenes of the toiletgate riots. Sign up as plaintiffs the families of the 16 dead and 100 injured in the Newsweek lie—inspired riots. Treat is as they did the Bhopal disaster.
Certainly, Newsweek's claim that it hadn't anticipated the consequences of its sloppy journalism would be dismissed out of hand. They didn't know of Salman Rushdie? The very folks so sophisticated and nuanced they are always telling us why that part of the world hates us, had no idea that desecration of the Koran is heresy punishable by death? C'mon..
Sue them.
