what a shamj

ya know, when i read of 'investigations' like this, i think of how saddam probably handled investigations.

Pentagon investigators looked into 13 allegations that the Quran had been treated improperly and determined that eight of them were unfounded. Out of the five cases of Quran mishandling that Pentagon officials identified, which all the papers except USAT front, three were labeled as probably deliberate, while two were probably accidental. The general in charge of the investigation made a point of emphasizing that they had found "no credible evidence" that a guard flushed a Quran down the toilet. The general said they interviewed the detainee who, according to an FBI report, had raised the issue of a Quran being flushed, and they determined his account lacked credibility, although he was never specifically asked about the incident.
