So, Rove's CNN outlet now claims the detainees flushed the Quran!
Edited on Sat Jun-04-05 01:29 AM by understandinglife
We now know that Rove is Chairman/CEO of CNN.

We now know that CNN is to be regarded as a State propaganda spew-source.

Detainees, not soldiers, flushed Quran
is the title to the puke

Soldiers kicked, splashed urine on holy book
is the subtitle to the puke

Saturday, June 4, 2005 Posted: 12:04 AM EDT (0404 GMT)

(CNN) -- 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.

However, the report did find four confirmed incidents in which U.S. personnel at the base mishandled the Quran, including guards kicking a detainees Quran; a guard's urine "splashed" a detainee and his holy book after coming through an air vent; and guards got in a water balloon fight that resulted in two detainees' Qurans getting wet.

CNN is out-fauxing, Faux.

Up is down. In is out. Light is dark. Good is bad. Whatever.

Peace.


One thing for certain, that Iraqi child is dead

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq, and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

5. Riiighht...and the detainees who did this also bludgeoned themselves.
I thought the Pentagon was supposed to cease the their media manipulation plan, but what's the point when they apparently run CNN like a modern day PRAVDA.

Am I catching wiffs of dictatorship around here...

6. CNN would immediately broadcast ANY release from the military
no need to second source it, because it's "official"

9. Right, urine came through the air vent.
That makes sense. No place better to take a piss than an air vent that will then waft piss smell all over the complex. I'll buy that.

How fucking stupid do they think we are? Either we have a bunch of fucking 3 year olds over there running the place, or the military is stretching to explain away why a detainee and his Quran got pissed on.

10. This Is A Test
Edited on Sat Jun-04-05 02:40 AM by Bark Bark Bark
Just like...well, ANYTHING that comes out of Ann Coulter's mouth, this is a test. A test to see what they can get away with; a test to plumb the exact depths of the gullibility and denial of in-your-face reality suffered by their enemies, their own faithful, the MSM, and the American Public in general.

As a whole, we are failing this test miserably, and they couldn't be happier. Watch how this sticks all over the walls of Freeperville.

LostInAnomie beat me to the punch about piss flying through the air vent; that's what I get for spending so much time laughing and crying and puking.

Next week: "Lynndie England's victims now admit they requested that she 'discipline' them; hooded detainee confesses to addiction to electrical current."

13. I wrote to the dumb MFs at CNN
for all the good it will do. We know they are just giving Americans another reason to feel more comfortable with the torture.

Shame on you, CNN, for promoting obvious lies handed you by the Bush Administration. Shame!! I am reviled by just how bereft of humanity and integrity you really are. The detainees flushing thier own holy book. Indeed.
