THREE YEARS AGO, The F.B.I. Documented Koran Flushing.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 25, 2005
NEW YORK -- New documents released by the FBI include previously undisclosed interviews in which prisoners at Guantánamo complain that guards have mistreated the Koran, the American Civil Liberties Union said today. In one 2002 summary, an FBI interrogator notes a prisoner’s allegation that guards flushed a Koran down the toilet.
The disclosure comes on the heels of controversy over a Newsweek report saying that government investigators had corroborated an almost identical incident. Newsweek ultimately retracted its story because a confidential government source could not be confirmed.
“The United States government continues to turn a blind eye to mounting evidence of widespread abuse of detainees held in its custody,” said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero. “If we are to truly repair America's standing in the world, the Bush Administration must hold accountable high-ranking officials who allow the continuing abuse and torture of detainees.”
According to the FBI documents, a detainee interviewed in August 2002 said that guards had flushed the Koran in the toilet. Others reported the Koran being kicked, withheld as punishment, and thrown on the floor, and said they were mocked during prayers.
---NEWSWEEK. Your cowardly retraction will NOT be forgotten. QUIT BETRAYING THE PEOPLE AND TELL US THE TRUTH!!!!
Release the OTHER Abu Ghraib Photos.
LET US SEE WITH OUR OWN EYES.

Bush and his Administration decreed the torture, so why the hell would they stop it, It gives them a high,a frigin power trip, this from losers that have never defended their nation in a time of war, who did anything they had to to get out of defending their country and letting other sons and daughters do that, and you know what America as a Nation destroys the men with honour, their heroes and kiss the feet of men who deserted their country in a time of need, Go figure
