I heard a rumor that it was a detainee that ripped the Koran page by page and was flushing the pages, hoping to stop up the toilets. He was protesting. Why didn't they print this version of the rumor. Oh yeah that's right, because it was a rumor. Not substantiated.!! Does that make sense?

Gen. Myers told reporters in Washington that Army Gen. Bantz J. Craddock, the head of U.S. Southern Command, has "been in Guantanamo for the last couple of days digging into this issue to see if there was a time when the Koran was not respected."

"They have looked through the logs, the interrogation logs, and they cannot confirm yet that there was ever the case of the toilet incident," Gen. Myers said.

He did note "a log entry, which they still have to confirm, where a detainee was reported by a guard to be ripping pages out of a Koran and putting them in a toilet to stop it up as a protest," he said. "But not where the U.S. did it."
