Reviewing the new, confirmed allegations that Gitmo guards did "mishandle" the Koran, E.J. Dionne argues that conservative dismissals of "relativism" in the so-called liberal media are unfounded. It's conservative academics who understand how the hermaneutics of relativism can work in the political realm:

Today's conservative activists have become the new postmodernists. They shift attention away from the truth or falsity of specific facts and allegations -- and move the discussion to the motives of the journalists and media organizations putting them forward. Just a modest number of failures can be used to discredit an entire enterprise

Wonder what Pat Buchanan, Phyllis Schlafy, Charles Krauthammer, and the rest will rebut this.
