Detainee Recants toilet-flushing of Koran

Reuters reports that the detainee who make the allegation in 2002 that Guantanamo guards flushed a Koran down a toilet has recanted the story according to U.S. military investigators. As I read this, I mused on what has to be…

Good insight there, Merry. Not even the freshest young wet-behind-the-ears intern at Newsweek is senseless enough to actually give more credibility to our guests at Gitmo than to ordinary prisoners. There is a deliberate anti-Bush political agenda at work in the newsrooms of the dinosaur media. Nothing else computes.

Back to the topic, which was Newsweek, other leftists, and the liberal media in general, accepting at face value assertions made by suspected terrorists caught, for the most part, in the act of plotting or attempting to kill Americans just because they are Americans:

Inside of every American penitentiary and correctional facility, including county jails, there are countless numbers of American prisoners accused of much less serious offenses than the least serious allegation against any terrorist detainee.

Virtually none of these American prisoners would be believed, and certainly not assumed to be credible enough to quote their unsubstantiated allegations against their respective wardens, jail guards, or interrogators in the Bufuville Gazette, let alone in Newsweek.

Does anyone else sense a disconnect or political divide here? Unbelieveable!

“So you need to take the time to bash the man as intolerant.”

I think its pretty clear that the Saudi’s are the intolerant ones. Two people can be of a different religion but only one be a hater. Still leads to problems.

Smurf. [chortle] Do liberals have a pigeon hole for blue folks, just like they do for segregating every other color?

Actus, could you be a bigger *** right now?
The man made a simple point, that this cleric wants us to respect his holy book, which to most americans is just a book, while burning the book that more americans than any other find holy.
So you need to take the time to bash the man as intolerant.
I really don’t know if you are deficient in manners, mind or comprehension… the wise ass in the back of the class trying to rile peoople up for no reason but to get attention, or the slow kid that doesn’t realize what he’s saying. Or some kind of Brainy Smurf….

“This is the same Saudi Arabia that has an official policy to burn Bibles as contraband. ”

They’re not the same religion as you. thats a problem.

I noticed that the chief Muslim cleric in Saudi Arabia (of all places) complained about the reported flushing incident and called it a “crime.” This is the same Saudi Arabia that has an official policy to burn Bibles as contraband. Christians are supposed to respect the Muslim holy book, but the favor need not be returned apparently.

“Just because the government doesnâ€™t call it a terrorist act, doesnâ€™t mean the perpetrators canâ€™t be terrorists”

I agree. Its still interesting why they don’t.

Geez actus. What do you call driving a car into a busy market or mosque and blowing it up?

Or how about, walking into a line of police recruits and then detonating yourself?

Just because the government doesn’t call it a terrorist act, doesn’t mean the perpetrators can’t be terrorists.

You can’t call the government statistics accurate anyhow. Lest we recall the upward revision on terrorism statistics by the CIA last year.

I agree that some cannot see the forest for the trees. The current administration pretends to be conservative and moral. The president even pledges to veto a bill allowing embryonic stem cell research. The is a supposedly conservative majority in both house of Congress. What the left cannot get enacted as law through the elected process, the impose as law through the courts. The MSM arm of the DNC does their part to undermine the majority by printing any reminders of embarassing moments. They continue to trumpet the number of Americans killed, alleged prisoner abuses, confirmed prisoner abuses, etc. to cast the most unfavorable light possible on the administration. It’s all about returning the country to those glorious days when the Democrats were in control. Bring back the Clintons.

you people cant see the trees thru the forest…

it’s really sad that stories like this seem to get immediately attacked as being “treason”…

deep down you all know this stuff happens all the time… as a matter of fact, you people dont even care if it’s true whatsoever… you think these methods are somehow justified and will contribute to us winning this war…

This alias is much better than the other one you use here. – Admin
