What I don’t understand is why anyone felt the need to announce the mistake of burning the damn books anyway. Wouldn’t this sort of thing have been done within the confines of the military environment? Since when has the military found it needful to blurt out that a “mistake” had just been made? Why the hell then don’t we hear more of all the mistakes that are made in the course of a day... stupid ass Obama generals!
The President of Afghanistan announced it after “Afghan laborers found charred copies while collecting rubbish at the sprawling Bagram air base”. Supposedly.
Karzai is now demanding whoever did it - and good luck figuring out THAT - be tried in Afghanistan:
“Afghanistan wants NATO to put on public trial those who burned copies of the Koran at a NATO base, President Hamid Karzai’s office said on Thursday, after a third day of bloody protests over the incident.
It said NATO had agreed to a trial, but that could not be immediately confirmed.”

I’d go with nukes. It is the only way to be sure.
