Oh... My... God... (Gitmo... Torture... Lies... Confirmed...)
Edited on Fri Jun-03-05 11:42 PM by WillyT
Pentagon details mishandling of Quran
Detainees’ copies of holy book kicked,
splashed with urine


A Pentagon report detailing incidents of mishandling of the Quran by U.S. guards at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, comes after the White House last month blamed deadly anti-American riots in the Middle East on a Newsweek report about alleged abuse of the Quran. The magazine later retracted its story.

Flushed ??? --- Did they mention flushed??? Cause splashed with Urine could be confused with...

OK... I'm checking myself into the not-so-funny-farm tonight.

:wtf:

I'm sure it's a dupe... so kill me now...

1. I love that line: "splashed with urine"
How exactly does something get splashed with urine? :eyes: Is urine dripping from the ceiling? Are there urine puddles on the ground? Is urine floating in the air??

Jackasses! :grr:

6. Now now- just because they peed on the Koran does not mean
they were flushed! This whole thing would be amost comical if it wasn't about something so serious.

I still wonder what they did to Newseek to force them to retract the story (which most people know was true) - must have been something really big.

8. That'll be the RW excuse ...
"This proves that Newsweek lied! They said the Koran was flushed, but it wasn't. It was only peed on. Damn liberal media is always telling lies about our troops!" :eyes:

9. Same team that made us forget Bush went AWAL during Viet Nam
They did a great job proving the CBS lied too didn't they?

I just wish just one mainstream, major media outet would have the courage and conviction to once and for all to say Enough is Enough. Where are our Woodward and Bernstein? I'll bet there are tons of "deep throats" just dying to leak information but the media is just to scared (or controlled or whatever) to run with it.

Very distressing indeed.

12. as if the guard were carefully carrying a cup of piss and spilled some
"Dreadfully sorry, dear boy - I appear to have splashed you with urine."

"No, problem, loveable guard. I'm sure it was an honest mistake anyone could have made."

"I knew you'd understand, Prisoner #30258. So we won't sic the dogs on you."
