The NY Times leaves out at least 2 major facts in a Koran story. One, they omit that Korans had been discarded because they were defaced by Muslims in prison. The Times invites the world to believe the burning was a sole and spontaneous act of Americans. Second, they specifically say things have quieted down in the past few days and are returning to normal. This is demonstrably false and they know it because they themselves published March 1 that two American soldiers were murdered in their barracks by Afghans and 4 others injured.
3/2/12, "5 U.S. Service Members Found Responsible for Koran Burnings," NY Times, Graham Bowley and Alissa J. Rubin
"But the only investigation that will carry formal legal weight is a third inquiry, conducted by the American military alone, that could lead ultimately to criminal legal action or lesser administrative punishment. Its findings and recommendations are expected in the second half of this month.
After last week’s deadly protests, Afghanistan has become quieter in the last few days, with few signs of protests. Some of the NATO military advisers pulled from Afghan ministries by General Allen after the shooting deaths of two American officers inside the Interior Ministry (last Saturday) have also begun to return to work."

"Muslim holy books that were burned in a pile of garbage at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan had been removed from a library at a nearby detention center because they contained extremist messages or inscriptions, a western military official said Tuesday.
The military official with knowledge of the incident said it appeared that the Korans and other Islamic readings were being used to fuel extremism, and that detainees at Parwan Detention Facility were writing on the documents to exchange extremist messages."...

$6 billion+ US taxpayer dollars a month are what we pay to have our soldiers murdered. The only war going on is by the US government against the American people.
