I still can't get over the fact that the guys at Newsweek "don't know if the story if true or not", thus the retraction. On my desk, I've got a Grisham book in paperback (550 pages). I cannot think of a flushing toilet in the world where it'll flush down - even if I tear off a few pages(50 sheets). Not only do I doubt that a book was "flushed down" a toilet, I doubt that any book clogged (meaning flushed and getting caught in the trap) any toilet in Guantanamo. There about as many square inches of paper in this (my Grisham book) paperback book, as an entire roll of toilet paper (except for maybe a Scots 1000 sheet roll). Does anyone have any doubt what would happen if an entire roll of toilet paper (paper that I might add is DESIGNED to go in a toilet!) is put into a toilet bowl and flushed???!!! You'd think none of these guys have seen a flushing toilet before. And unless the water pressure from a flushing squat toilet is from a fire hose, I doubt a hardback book would flush down that toilet either.
