Personally, I think there should be legal consequences for editors and publishers and reporters so abysmally selfish and stupid that they would run with a story that they knew would provoke outrage in Muslim lands, without first making sure it was true.

Just so.
But what I find interesting just now is the implications about those who argue against the actions of our troops on false pretext.
