Earlier Allegations Guards Threw Koran in Toilet
From TalkLeft:

"Here's an update to our earlier post skeptical of Newsweek's retraction of last week's Periscope item(about a military report stating that Guantanamo personnel had flushed a detainee's Koran down the toilet to get him to talk): http://talkleft.com/new_archives/010714.html

There are dozens of news articles referencing detainee allegations that guards threw korans in the toilet prior to the Newsweek article. Here's a sampling, all are available on lexis.com..."

Other reports, one as early as March, 2004...http://talkleft.com/new_archives/010715.html

1. I remember stories about...
pissing on the Koran from soon after Gitmno opened.

Considering how the Pentatgon has unofficially encouraged anti-Muslim bigotry and the proven allegations at abu-Graib, I don't discount these stories at all.
