SilverNRed Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Too bad for the ACLU. Link WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Guantanamo detainee who told an FBI agent in 2002 that U.S. personnel there had flushed a Koran in a toilet retracted his allegation when questioned this month by military investigators, the Pentagon said on Thursday. "We've gone back to the detainee who allegedly made the allegation and he has said it didn't happen. So the underlying allegation, the detainee himself, within the last two weeks, said that didn't happen," chief Pentagon spokesman Lawrence Di Rita told a briefing. An FBI document, dated Aug. 1, 2002, contained a summary of statements made by the detainee in two interviews with an FBI special agent at the prison for foreign terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The names of the detainee and the agent were redacted. DARN!!! Guess the "fake but accurate" defense of Newsweak won't be cutting it anymore.

UConn James Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 And if they ask him next week, he'll say it did happen. There's enough blame to go around for a lot of groups involved. Who cares, except the guy who gets rich by printing the Quran on rolls of toilet paper? (I'm claiming a copyright for this idea.) A three-sentence story didn't make people go out and kill; they were doing it before, they'll do it again. Melville isn't responsible for putting whale species on the endangered list.

They are anti-American at their very core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
