Quibble

Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds comments on the fact that the Washington Post did not place a fact - that a GitMo detainee apparently recanted claiming the Koran was harmed - that he and Michele Malkin considered significant in a high-enough paragraph. Because we all know that rioters in Pakistan only read the first five grafs of Washington Post stories, then run for their torches and American flags to burn. Besides being both he and Malkin agreeing that if they had written the story they would have put what facts they liked in higher prominence, Glenn closes the thought by saying "Tom Maguire, meanwhile, notes another omission that seems rather striking." Another omission, as in the Post placing the sentence Glenn approved of lower than other sentences is the same as if it never reported it at all. Hopefully my placing it in the first sentence is good enough.
