Will Newsweek get an apology? Well, no, of course not.US officials say they have confirmed five cases in which prison guards at Guantanamo Bay mishandled the Quran.
Let me ask you this: just what are guards and interrogators doing handling the Quran, if they have no intention of mishandling it? Praying with the prisoners in their own holy language perhaps?However, they found no credible evidence to confirm a prisoner's report that the Muslim holy book was flushed in a toilet.[...]
"We did identify 13 incidents of alleged mishandling of the Quran by Joint Task Force personnel. Ten of those were by a guard and three by interrogators. We found that in only five of those 13 incidents, four by guards and one by an interrogator, there was what could be broadly defined as mishandling of a Koran." [Brigadier General Jay W.] Hood said.
