ONE POSSIBLE THEORY ON THE NEWSWEEK STORY

(okay, one more)

Noted blogger Norman Mailer proposes a possible explanation for the bogus Koran-toilet study: Was Michael Isikoff set up?

I have no idea if this theory has any merit, but it wouldn't be that hard to do. Back in July of last year, someone gave the New York Post information suggesting Richard Gephardt would be John Kerry's running mate, possibly someone from inside the Kerry campaign. The end result was that a Murdoch rag got a big black eye. No reason something similar couldn't be at play here.
