"U.S. Confirms Urine Touched Quran at Gitmo"

Just one look at this AP headline. What are they trying to accomplish?

More deadly riots where muslims kill each other in various backward countries?

More anti American hatred (as if muslims could hate us more )?

Embarrassment of the Bush administration over GITMO?

They phrase headlines to spin the results of a good faith investigation that found something ( because that is what investigations do ) into an anti American Bush Whacking technique rather than an assessment of a prison. [See Department of Defense press release, June 3, 2005, http://www.dod.gov/releases/2005/nr20050603-3524.html]

Do Jews get "siddur" [prayer book] when muslims keep them prisoner?
Do Catholics get a bible before they are beheaded?

Saudis burn all bibles that come into their country ILLEGALLY. Let's keep things in mind here.

Why can't we show that these maniacs are allowed to worship their own way, even in prison, despite the fact that they are prisoners in an asymmetrical terror war that THEY and THEIR religious doctrine keep starting each and every generation and century from the time of Muhammad to the time of bin Laden.
