Newsflash: America Great! Print that on the first page.


So, we are now told that soldiers at Guantanamo Bay never flushed the Quran down a toilet. They did however "a U.S. soldier had deliberately kicked a prisoner's holy book. The report also said prison guards had thrown water balloons in a cell block, causing an unspecified number of Qurans to get wet; a guard's urine had splashed on a detainee and his Quran; an interrogator had stepped on a Quran during an interrogation; and a two-word obscenity had been written in English on the inside cover of a Quran." And really, that's so much nicer than flushing it down a toilet. Respectful, really. Actually, those soldiers should be praised because they didn't flush the Quran down the toilet.


These guys are saints. Abusive saints, but still saints.


Oh, did I forget to mention this? "On her goodwill trip to the Middle East last month, first lady Laura Bush said Newsweek should not be solely blamed for the deadly protests that followed its report." Yes, how dare a news organization report something that hasn't been cleared through the White House. That's not how things work in this country. Does it seem like we're like China every day or is it just me?
