"Flush the Qu'ran? Nah, we'd never do that!"
So, the idjits are saying that they'd never do anything like that to a prisoner at Gitmo? BU DOUBLE-L SHIT!!!

Just watch these assholes that blogged that the chinese water torture method (waterboarding) or jumper cables to the testicles were not good enough torture - watch them scream about how they'd never flush the Qu'ran - too incendiary.

Of course, try being an anti-Iraq-War activist who decides to pull out a lighter (to light a cigarette) while standing near an American flag - and see how people get upset about "pieces of paper/cloth" . . .

2. There was a caller on TWJ this AM who had an interesting comment.
He said, "These people must not have inor plumbing over there! Anyone KNOWS you CAN'T FLUSH a book down a toilet!!!"

Now, I understand this is a smart ass comment, but he has a point, don't ya think?

3. That mentality is highly prevelent - when you consider that some of
these mental giants were saying (in 2001-2002) - "Let's bomb 'em back to the stone age - wait, that would be an improvement"

and they're now saying "You bloggers are encouraging these people - they're reading your communist trash on the internet!" (in between the bombing raids on Afghanistan & Iraq we were installing cable modems and giving them Pentium computers???)

4. I remember a cross posting from
crazyland (fr) about a year ago where some good ol' boys thought it would be great fun to take a hypodermic syringe full of pigs blood and inject the detainees with it then cut their throats and send them back to Allah. (this was during the the Abu Ghraib picture fiasco) But they would never flush a Quran down the toilet. I'll see if I can find the thread.

5. Yeah, you're right - flushing the Qu'ran seems to be a little too tame
for their tastes, doesn't it?

6. Maybe its just me
But when I heard this story I wasn't surprised at all. I've heard much worse stuff happening at Gitmo. I was flipping through channels on Sunday and some Col. or something was on Fox News and for some reason I decided to watch it. He said the people shouldn't even read the Quran but should be reading the Holy Bible. Hey dumbass, that's a great way to win the hearts and minds of the Muslims world take away our holy book and jam your book down our throats.
