America - Anonymous Newsweek Sources

Remember how, after the Newsweek Koran debacle, Newsweek promised to review its anonymous sources policy? Well, it seems Howard Fineman didn't get the memo.


I'm sitting here with a gloomy letter from Iraq, written by a high-ranking officer I cannot name in a branch of service I cannot name in a part of the country I cannot name. But trust me, because I trust him. Iraqis, he says, have no feel for or belief in the democracy we want to create, and our occupation is making them less, not more, capable of self-government.


Yeah, right, we should trust you?

Which prompted Trey Jackson to write:

Fineman (which he is not), and his fellow liberals have become so disjointed by hate, so frustrated by being wrong, and so anti-American, that being right about Iraq -- or more important: Bush being wrong -- is more important to them than us succeeding and the Iraqi's living in freedom and democracy.


So, why don't we e-mail editor Mark Whitaker at Newsweek (mark.whitaker-at-newsweek.com)and ask him why Fineman didn't get the memo on anonymous sources at Newsweek?
