Newsweek is a weekly news magazine published in New York City and distributed throughout the United States and internationally. It is the second-largest weekly magazine in the U.S., having played second fiddle to TIME during its entire career except for brief moments when its advertising revenues were somewhat greater. Its circulation puts it ahead of U.S. News & World Report, however. Of the three magazines, Newsweek is generally regarded as being more liberal than Time in its outlook, while U.S. News is considered somewhat conservative.

Guantánamo Bay Qur'an desecration allegations

In the May 9, 2005 issue of Newsweek, an article by reporter Michael Isikoff stated that interrogators at Guantanamo Bay "in an attempt to rattle suspects, flushed a Qur'an down a toilet." Detainees had earlier made similar complaints but this was the first time a government source had appeared to confirm the story. The news was purported to be a cause of widespread rioting and massive anti-American protests throughout some parts of the Islamic world (causing at least 15 deaths in Afghanistan). The magazine later revealed that the anonymous source behind the allegation could not confirm that the book-flushing was actually under investigation, and retracted the story under heavy criticism. However, similar desecration by U.S. personnel was more or less confirmed by the U.S. a month later.
