Actually, I meant this thread to be about the AMAZING hypocrisy of the admninistration trying to shove off Afghan unrest on Newsweek.
For instance:
"WASHINGTON-CNN - U.S. military officials say no guard at the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects flushed a detainee's Quran down the toilet, but they disclosed that a Muslim holy book was splashed with urine."
BUT THAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE A TOILET!! HOW DARE NEWSWEEK CAUSE RIOTING IN AFGHANISTAN WITH TYHEIR IRRESPONSIBLE REPORTING OF A KORAN GETTING URINE ON IT IN A TOILET!! WHEN WILL THIS MEDIA MADNESS END?!
I agree with you Kev, that the level of outrage over abusing a symbol as compared with the level of outrage over the violent endings of lives is, from my personal western perspective, bizarre.
