Does anyone else think that the * whitehouse...
...may purposefully put out bogus information, such as the koran in the toilet story, so that a later story, like urinating on the koran, will have less of an impact. I am sure that we all think that but I just haven't seen it written yet.

2. It would be kind of stupid to release something that's basically the
equivalent as a distraction.

In the eyes of a devout Muslim, there's no difference between flushing a Quran in the toilet and using one as a toilet.

4. Yes, but they might be trying to soften the blow of
what horrors are to come with the pix and videos. I guess we'll see.

3. The story morphed from putting it into the toilet to the impossible
flushing down the toilet by the likes of limbaugh and hume, a cheap bid to make the story preposterous.

6. When all this bullshit first started, some General said on CNN that
prisoners put pages from the Koran in the toilet to stop up the plumbing as a form of protest. Never heard that story again...anyone else see it?

8. Toilet
As I understand it, the story now from the Pentagon is that the prisoners have buckets not flush toilets. That makes the official line that the prisoners put pages from their own holy books in the toilet to mess up the plumbing even more irrational. These damned idiots can't even lie well.

It's a smoke screen to distract the public attention from the downing street memo
