American jailers at the Guantanamo prison base for foreign terrorism suspects splashed a Koran with urine, kicked and stepped on the Islamic holy book and soaked it in water, the US Military said on Friday.

US Southern Command, responsible for the prision at the US Naval base at Guananamo bay, Cuba, described for the first time five cases of 'mishandling' of the Koran by US personnel confirmed by a newly completed military inquiry, said officials in a statement.

The Newsweek report was about a Koran being dropped down a toilet. Does this article report that as being the case?

FYI, McG. It was the Pentagon that released the information, as I thought I heard initially.

Enough! We have Jesus with dung, we have Jesus in Urine and we have the Bible spit on etc. All of this was in the name of art paid for by our tax dollars. I am tired of this now. I don't care what they did to the Quran. Yep, you got it! Burn them for all I care for the real Quran represents intolerance and violence! Nuff said!

Thanks !!!

Not even any reports close to dropping Korans in the toilet. Newsweak still got the story factually wrong...

I don't believe this. The Muslims probably did this to keep the story(lies)going.

Yup.

They are running with this as a way of saying "See! See! It's true!" But it's not. Nothing in the article supports the Newsweek story.

If there's something more offensive to the Muzzies that pissing on the Koran, we should find out what it is and then do it....

I agree. But here is the problem. The media will pound this into the skulls of the masses until they are all chanting "Impeachment". This is just a build up--a paving of the case for the left to wear down Bush. Rush stated last year that Abu Graib will be the reason..and this is the second chapter of the book they are writing for the warrent to get rid of our President.

Nice, huh? We have to fight this crap tooth and nail. I hope people open their eyes and see how the left are trying to take over power and in the process, lose the war on terror and destroy this country.

Good thing Pvt. Natural Law wasn't on duty. I would have probably wiped my butt with it.

What Reuters is doing is something of a byproduct of the President's claim that "Islam is a religion of peace".

If one follows Bush's statement to its "logical" conclusion, one *should* be outraged if this story is true.

On the other hand, one who understands the statement is a lie is quite legitimately unconcerned.

Exactly.

I'm done caring about any of these "reports".

I am sure glad that I served years ago when you were allowed to sneer at the enemy. Excuse me while I go to B&N and purchase some Korans for practice.

Check the information in post #11.

This country supports our military. They don't support the MSM.

They've tried for five years to take him down and have been unsuccessful. All they've gotten for their efforts is decreased majorities in the Senate and the House, as well as a tarnished MSM.

All this story will do is what it has down in past. Further cause a backlash against them.

Good point--they will use this as part of the "pattern of abuse of power which has ruined the US in the eyes of the world"--I can almost hear Babs Boxer chirping something like that.

I don't think it will stick. W's latest poll numbers are up again. I just think the left are pushing too hard. At the end of the day they've got nothing much. But there're 3 1/2 years left for them to try.
