A U.S. military investigation into the mishandling of the Muslim holy book at the Guantanamo Bay prison for suspected terrorists has determined that detainees -- not U.S. soldiers -- attempted to flush the Quran down the toilet there.
-SNIP-
In one incident, on February 23, 2004, the report said a guard saw a "detainee place two Qurans in his toilet and state he no longer cared about the Quran or his religion.
Five minutes later, after the detainee retrieved the Qurans, he ripped several pages out of one Quran and threw the pages on the floor. Then, he placed both Qurans on the sink."
Another time, on January 19, 2005, a detainee "tore up his Quran and tried to flush it down the toilet. Four guards witnessed the incident," the report said.
The report also cited 12 other incidents by detainees, including one who used his Quran as a pillow, another who urinated on his holy book and several who ripped pages from the Quran.
Capt. Jeff Weir, an Army spokesman at the facility, told CNN in a phone interview that the detainees were typically trying to stage some form of protest when they mishandled the Quran.
Hood said investigators reviewed more than 30,000 documents in an exhaustive probe.
"The inquiry found no credible evidence that a member of the Joint Task Force at Guantanamo Bay ever flushed a Quran down a toilet. This matter is considered closed," the report said.
It said the U.S. military has issued more than 1,600 copies of the Quran since January 2002, conducted more than 28,000 interrogations and carried out thousands of "cell moves."
"Mishandling a Quran at Guantanamo Bay is a rare occurrence," Hood said. "Mishandling of a Quran here is never condoned."

BTTT!
"guard saw a "detainee place two Qurans in his toilet and state he no longer cared about the Quran or his religion."
That tends to happen when one actually reads the Koran. Good for this, he's seen the light and it isn't Islam.
Unlike Muslims, Christians don't go into a rabid frenzy and beat people to death when the Bible and symbols of their religion are defiled.
Well, well, well .....
Zactly what I think, Mr. Nerks. The 'detainees are flushing the Koran' is a way more dangerous story--for Islamics, that is. Pulls the pins right out from underneath the whole concept of making jihad.
I like your headline much better than the lying cheating disgusting irritating dangerous and deliberately stupid traitorously dirty filthy MSM:
GITMO DETAINEES GO ON KORAN FLUSHING RAMPAGE!
Pentagon concerned. Plumbers called to clear blockage. Guards have no idea how many sacred books were soiled, urinated upon or flushed never to be seen again...detainees handcuffed to prevent further desecration, korans removed, placed in dumpster to shouts of 'mohammad, pub' (which, one shocked translator tells us in arabic means 'piss be upon mohammad')
hehehe
BTTT
What we need is some koran 2 ply. The only bathroom tissue thats "Stronger than the urge to cut an unbelievers throat, yet softer than the pedophile mohamed's 9 year old bride".
Yes, thats koran 2 ply. Start your day by wiping your American infidel butt with the words of the prophet.
Too bad we don't have videos of these incidents to broadcast on Al Jezeera.
"Did I miss something? Has hell frozen? Are pigs flying? CNN is reproting this??? WTF???"
I think that some reality is starting to hit CNN.
#1 The American Public (not the anti American liberal a$$holes) respect our military and appreciate what they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan for us.
#2 In spite of the constant attacks on GW, his popularity as shown by the latest Rasmussen poll showed 53% of Americans think that he is doing a good job.
#3 The furor over the lies of NewsWeak just fuels the American public disdain of the liars of the MSM.
#4 CNN continues to lose audience share. That has to impact their advertising $'s.
If there are any sane people still managing CNN, they know all too well the impact of 1-4 on their survival. They have to change or sell out to the French or Germans.

I guess it's a good idea from their perspective. Look at all the respect for the Koran that the frenzied behavior has brought.
The lesson here is: If you want respect for something that is important to you, go into a murderous frenzy over it.
He's just another con man trying to get released from Gitmo!
Apparently,The Clinton News Network has forgotten itself and is actually "reporting the news"!!!Will wonders never cease?
When will people ever learn?!! Never trust a terrorist!!
Hey, I think you and I are on the right track:
'What's Going on at Gitmo? (Inmates playing soccer, volleyball, reading Agatha Christie in Arabic)'

"Hood's inquiry identified 15 incidents in which detainees mishandled the Koran. These involved using it as a pillow, ripping pages from it, attempting to flush it down a toilet, and urinating on it, SOUTHCOM officials said. "
DETAINEES FLUSH KORAN COS LIFE IN GITMO IS MORE FUN THAN ISLAM!
LOL! see # 16.
Uh yeah, let's keep pandering to the inmates at Gitmo, giving them Korans (hey, when will the ACLU decide that Govt money should not be spent on promoting one "religion" to them over all over religions?) and then freeing them so they can laugh all the way back to whatever Jihadistan they were from and continue their "terrorist activities" against us, spreading lies along the way.
"What's Going on at Gitmo?"
I suspect it's moving to something more along the lines of this:
