Koran Inquiry Reveals Pattern of 'Respectful Handling'

Ping for Ref -
Its old already.
"We have decided to stop the possibility of any Koran abuse by taking all Korans out of this facility. All of you are here for good reason. Christian prisoners in Saudi Arabia are not given Bibles. You guys should not be given Korans.
If we have no Korans here, there will be no more Koran abuse. Besides, we have something in America called the ACLU who views giving religious literature to prisoners as state sponsorship of religion. Not that they'd ever sue us because they only hate Christians, but we'd better not take the chance.
As for those Muslim meals, that might be viewed as state sponsored religion, too. So we're doing away with them. You guys can eat what we eat. Hope you like pork chops, because that's what we have on the menu tonight."
It's a freakin book nail i to a post and leave it for crow bedding and move on !
If it got out that we were forcing them to eat pork, they'd start killing 100 American soldiers a day in Baghdad.
We don't need to insult them or anything, though we should deny them Koran access.

No it's not okay
But, let me explain something, we are supposed to be better than them, therefore, doing what they do would be stooping to their level, and we're better than that.
Or in Roman terms, we're civilized, and they're the Barbarians, we shouldn't lower ourselves to their barbaric tactics.
Come back to reason. Take them out of the toilet and put them in the urinal as I told everyone to do in the first place.
"But, let me explain something, we are supposed to be better than them, therefore, doing what they do would be stooping to their level, and we're better than that."
Well it's not as if we have a policy of pissing on Korans. A small number of soldiers are going to do things like this in war, it's inevitable. And we'd be better than our enemies even if we pissed on Korans, because they behead their prisoners and painfully might I add.
What happened here is the Whitehouse shot themselves in the foot. By public repudiating the Newsweek story, they staked their reputation on the story being wrong. It was never beyond the realm of possibility that one soldier could have pissed on a Koran.
Yea we see where being civilized is getting us lets try a little bit of old fashioned medieval justice on them for a change feed em pig ,forbid them the koran ,take away their prayer rugs,makem work their asses off busting up large granite rocks with small hammers.
And torture is OK in my book too ! if they infiltrate the United States as they plan to do thier will not be a bible or a church of any dinomination other than muslim that you can take to the bank !
Destroy your enemys do not make peace with your killer ! their will be a fight for life when life is all you have left !
I want you in charge of Homeland Security.
Common sense is in short supply in America these days.
When you try to please all those small-minded interest groups, you will end up pleasing nobody.
