thoughtcrime

from CNN, in reference to newsweek’s freshly-retracted story about u.s. interrogators purposely treating the quran with disrespect (flushing it down a toilet, etc.), and the resulting riots in Afghanistan and elsewhere that caused at least 15 deaths:

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said the flap was a reminder that people ‘need to be very careful about what they say.’ 

‘People are dead, and that’s unfortunate,’ Rumsfeld told reporters. ‘People need to be very careful about what they say just as people need to be careful about what they do.’

thoughtcrime is next. stay tuned, kids.
