- Go to Pentagon Admits To Five Cases Of Koran Mishandling
Saul_Relative,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news! But George Bush could give a rats hiney about truth and the rule of law! The battle of evils in this administration will subside only when someone stands up to this liar! Every story has facts and what Mr. Bush calls "real" facts! He has gotten away with that distinction all his life. The
Dead Bodies keep coming! A "real" fact!

Hold on a minute, there, CeeSee. If you read my blogs, you'll see that
I truly have an understanding of how the world really works. I do understand that, given the upper hand, Muslims (hell, anybody with a grudge and a gun) will do whatever it takes to get information. My point in these last few blogs is the piss-poor way the Bush administration and Pentagon have handled the entire affair, how they've blasted Newsweek when they knew all along that the story was true. Personally, I don't like the idea that we pay lip service to being tolerant, then step on others to get what we want, but, in this case (and others) we are talking about garnering information about terrorists, so pretty much all is fair. And I am all for it (and, at the same time, I think it sad we have to resort to these measures).

Do you really think
that if one of the terrorists in Iraq had you as a prisoner and you had your holy book with you that they would give a rats arse about it? Right now one of our civilians is in Iraq being held hostage by terrorists, he is an engineer who was there working to help rebuild and he appears on the TV here bashed, bruised and black eyed, begging for his life with a rifle pointed at his head, just for being Australian. Screw the flushing of the bloody Koran down the toilets, if that is all the US troops are doing to their prisoners then lets do an exchange, send our poor 60 year old Aussie to Guantanamo, I'm sure he would be a lot happier in a prison camp where his only complaint is that they are not respecting his religious views than where he is right now. Get your head straight mate!!
