When this story first broke last Friday, I posted this: “As Charles says, both sides were wrong. But I’m puzzled. I read a lot, and watch the news a lot. I never saw a reference to Jones burning the Korans. How did these people half a world away know all about it? “

I said that because I smelled a rat. No one paid attention to the post, other than a couple of posters who dismissed it. No recs, no nothing.

Now it comes out that President Karzai was the conduit for the info, and he did so for purely selfish political reasons. Just saying, guys, just saying.
