US TROOPS THROW KORANS INTO TOILETS.

Most of us are aware of bush & his Cartel's attacks on Newsday for their "US troops abused Koran book" report.

Funny thing that bush isn't demanding CCR's Tipton Report "repair the damage" for their own report a year ago:

July 2004:

The behaviour of the guards towards our religious practices as well as the Koran was also, in my view, designed to cause us as much distress as possible. They would kick the Koran, throw it into the toilet and generally disrespect it."

Former Guantánamo Detainees Confirm Allegations of Abuse of the Qu'ran

But then, bush wasn't in such desperate need of distraction a year ago.

1. They could care less about reality.

Twisting things to fit their agenda is the only thing they care about. What amazes me is how they keep getting away with it.

2. OK, they didn't flush the Koran down the toilet

"They merely threw it into the toilet."

That's the Clintonian denial we can expect over the next few weeks.
