Actually, that's a great question...and NewsWeek implies it's not really wrong...

Our original source later said he couldn't be certain about reading of the alleged Qur'an incident in the report we cited, and said it might have been in other investigative documents or drafts.

This ain't over...

Now it has shifted to a burden on the DOD to prove that none of its agents or employees have ever desecrated the Koran or disrespected a Muslim or disrespected the Muslim religion. Apparantly, leaving one in the same room as a toilet is taken as intimating the pages of the book are to be used as toilet paper.

The flushing of pages from the Koran was noted in a log entry as being performed by a Muslim prisoner.
