All in the Name of Liberty
Perhaps Pentagon spokesman Lawrence Di Rita is finally starting to ease us into the truth:
"There have been instances, and we'll have more to say about it as we learn more, but where a Quran may have fallen to the floor in the course of searching a cell." (CNN)
That makes sense, doesn't it? Picture this: A detainee sees his guard rifling through his bed, a routine search for contraband, and his Quran just happens to fall out of the sheets and onto the floor. So the prisoner assumes the worst, a classic "you did that on purpose!" accusation. And, well, you know, maybe it fell out of the sheets and the guard tried to catch it, you know, to keep it from falling on the floor. Then of course it would technically have been handled by a "non-believer." That couldn't have been helped, surely. And maybe at some point in the process of beating a prisoner senseless, or during the gential fondling, the threats with guard dogs, the electrocutions, hoodings, sleep deprivations, drug injections, forced pornography-viewings, or prayer-time-mockings, a Quran at one time or another may possibly have fallen into a toilet which was then flushed. Is that so hard to believe? No. I mean, accidents happen.
The ACLU has you, so f*cking fess up already.
And from the above CNN article, your ironic quote of the day:
"We know that members of al Qaeda are trained to mislead and to provide false reports."
– White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan

Living in Switzerland has obviously turned you into one of them eurotrash human-rights hippies. Here in the good ol' US of A, the only human life that has value is the unborn kind.
