Assclowns 4, Gulag 0

There was more info today from the Pentagon on Koran mishandling at Gitmo. (AP: U.S. Confirms Gitmo Soldier Kicked Koran) Read on and ask yourself if these are the actions of A) assclowns, or B) murderous Gulag thugs.

The Pentagon on Friday released new details about mishandling of the Koran at the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects, confirming that a soldier deliberately kicked the Muslim holy book and that an interrogator stepped on a Koran and was later fired for "a pattern of unacceptable behavior."

Kicked. Check. Stepped on. Check. This doesn’t scream Gulag to me. It sounds like the work of assclowns, not a pattern of behavior aimed at starving people, working them to death, or outright murder.

In other confirmed incidents, water balloons thrown by prison guards caused an unspecified number of Korans to get wet;

Water balloons. Check. VERY assclownish. I don’t think they allowed balloons in Gulags.

a guard's urine came through an air vent and splashed on a detainee and his Koran. In that case, an unidentified guard had left his observation post and went outside where he urinated near an air vent and the wind blew his urine through the vent into the cell block. His supervisor reprimanded him and assigned him to gate guard duty where he had no contact with detainees for the remainder of his assignment at Guantanamo Bay.

Urine. Check. Not some kind of poison or acid, just urine. Not an official policy of torture or humiliation, just an assclown taking a leak in the wrong place. Verdict: Assclown. Props to Gitmo brass for getting the jarhead away from the general population.

Hood said in a written statement released Friday evening, along with the new details, that his investigation "revealed a consistent, documented policy of respectful handling of the Koran dating back almost 2 1/2 years."

Were there similar Gulag policies requiring guards to be respectful of inmate property or religious materials? I hardly think so.

and in a confirmed but ambiguous case, a two-word obscenity was written in English on the inside cover of a Koran.

This could have been the work of a prisoner. They've been known to desecrate Korans for political gain. Read on:

Hood also said his investigation found 15 cases of detainees mishandling their own Korans. "These included using a Koran as a pillow, ripping pages out of the Koran, attempting to flush a Koran down the toilet and urinating on the Koran," Hood's report said. It offered no possible explanation for the detainees' motives.

I repeat my earlier claim: The terrorists are far more disrespectful of their holy books than are the U.S. soldiers. The latest reports make it clear that the verified cases of Koran mishandling can be counted on one hand. The military has taken appropriate steps to punish those who deviate from their stated policy of treating prisoners and their religious effects with the utmost care and respect.

Calling Gitmo a Gulag is not only an insult to the victims of the Gulag system, it is a lie of Hitlerian proportions that insults the hard-working professionals that make up our all-volunteer military.

To any liberals out there, especially in the MSM, please tell me, in which nation would you most like to be a prisoner who is suspected of being a terrorist and helping to murder thousands of it's citizens? Cuba? Iran? China? North Korea? The U.S.?
