What a surprise... looks like Newsweek was right, the Bushies wrong, again, and again, and again...

FBI Records Cite Quran Abuse Allegations
AP - 52 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Terror suspects at the Guantanamo Bay prison told U.S. interrogators as early as April 2002, just four months after the first detainees arrived, that military guards abused them and desecrated the Quran, declassified FBI records say. "Their behavior is bad," one detainee is quoted as saying of his guards during an interrogation by an FBI special agent in July 2002. "About five months ago the guards beat the detainees. They flushed a Quran in the toilet."

What's amazing to me about this whole thing is how focused people are on what the interrogators may or may not have done to a Koran on the other side of the planet, while no one seems critical of the rioting Afghanis inability to control themselves and express themselves in a civil manner.

Newsweek isn't repsonsible for the deaths of ~15 Afghanis that resulted from the riots following this story, its the Afghanis that killed them that are responsible. But rather than discuss that and be apalled at that, the veracity of the Newsweek story is for some reason the focus of constant discussion.

I guess the 15 are clearly dead, so there is no controversy to debate......
