Untrue. They based an article on a factual item, that a detainee reported to a FBI anterrogator that a Qu'oran had been flushed down a toilet. The record created by that FBI agent is public and you can go read it for yourself.

Vastly different. By that logic if I steal a sucker from a little kid I could be charged with murder because suckers are a part of a little kid's life.
There's been a lot of grumbling of the right about sedition lately, mostly because now they can't convince anyone to ride their little patriotism bandwagon anymore so they're implementing scare tactics. Any charges along these lines would be laughed out of court, you can't limit the freedom of the press to criticise the government.
This is no different from saying "No news agency should have been allowed to report on 9/11, because it could reduce the American people's faith in the government."
