As if to Prove a Point (Updated)

Again, the damage is already done. Offered without further commentary:

“We will not be deceived by this,” Islamic cleric Mullah Sadullah Abu Aman told Reuters in the northern Afghan province of Badakhshan, referring to [Newsweek’s] retraction.

“This is a decision by America to save itself. It comes because of American pressure. Even an ordinary illiterate peasant understands this and won’t accept it.”

Aman was the leader of a group of clerics who Sunday vowed to call for a holy war against the United States in three days unless it handed over the military interrogators reported to have desecrated the Koran.

That call for a jihad, or holy war, still stood, he said.

Read the story. H/T Drudge.

Update: Along the same lines.

For that matter, it’s worth noting that Newsweek’s statement barely rises to the minimum standard of what an actual apology should be.
