KORAN DESECRATION STANDARD PRACTICE?

Bubba's former press secretary Joe Lockhart is doing his best to make something out of nothing:

"I think on this issue, they fell into a trap," Lockhart said. "They saw a way to push back on a damaging story [Newsweek] by making it look like it was just out-of-control journalists, and now they've had to admit that it has happened."

[Presedential Press Secretary] McClellan's statements after the Newsweek report left an impression that no desecration at all had occurred at Guantanamo, Lockhart said.

"While the news organization got an example wrong, they got the practice right," he said. "I think certainly the public is within their right, in this case, to believe they were misled."

Just in case Lockhart has forgotten, the Newsweek article claimed a Koran had been flushed down a toilet. As it turns out, it was the detainees who attempted to flush a Koran, not the guards.

The instances of Koran "abuse" now attributed to guards are so minor they aren't even worth discussing. Anyway, even if a Koran had been flushed by guards, it's no big deal.

It's also curious that a bunch of god-less lefties are so concerned about the fate of a work of fiction.
