[Brig. Gen. Jay] Hood [commander of the detention center at Guantanamo] also said his investigation found 15 cases of detainees mishandling their own Korans. "These included using a Koran as a pillow, ripping pages out of the Koran, attempting to flush a Koran down the toilet and urinating on the Koran," Hood's report said. It offered no possible explanation for the detainees' motives.
In the most recent of those 15 cases, a detainee on Feb. 18 allegedly ripped up his Koran and handed it to a guard, stating that he had given up on being a Muslim. Several guards witnessed this, Hood reported.

In one incident, guards enjoying a water balloon fight reportedly got two Korans wet. In another incident, a guard took a leak near an air vent and the wind blew some of his urine into the vent and onto a Koran.kal online hack visa
The report's most damning allegation? A guard kicked a Koran. Tsk, tsk.kal online hack visa
In sum, the report provides no evidence that the U.S. military has a policy, practice or pattern of abusing Korans. To the contrary.kal online hack visa
Perhaps this stuff belongs in the next edition of Trivial Pursuit. But the hullabaloo over supposed Koran abuse at Gitmo -- fomented by a legacy media anxious to recover from Newsweek's fumble, and celebrated by the Bush-hating left -- isn't news. At best, it's moral silliness; at worse, propaganda. kal online hack visa
