According to Reuters news agency, "American jailers at the Guantanamo prison for foreign terrorism suspects splashed a Koran with urine, kicked and stepped on the Islamic holy book and soaked it with water, the U.S. military said on Friday."  Significantly, " Southern Command released its findings on a Friday night," when it would receive absolutely the least possible attention.  Well, sorry Bush Administration and friends, but you forgot about the blogosphere. 

By the way, is this another example of the Republican Party's supposed respect for religion?  Or is it that the only religion Republicans respect is a certain variant of fundamentalist Christianity?  Well, I hate to tell you guys, but your particular brand of Christianity makes up only a tiny minority of the world's population.  Not that you care, but if you ever decide you want to get along with the rest of the planet, you might consider not tolerating the kind of behavior desribed above towards the Quran, holy book to more than 1 billion Muslims worldwide.
