Well, I think it is still quite popular today here, even if most parents wouldn't agree with the methods proposed there. However, my nephew told me that as a little child, he really took that "scissorman" thing serious, and it disturbed him quite a lot.

OTOH there are some stories you can still tell today, the one about the Moor for example. Even CBH would like it....

Once again we are seeing the Muslim world prefers lies which fit their bigotry to the truth. After 9/11 Muslim leaders claimed Jews were behind the attacks and that all the Jewish workers called in sick that day. After the sunami Muslims were convinced that Americans, Israelis, and Indians had some how purposely caused the sumani. Now we have a news story exposed to be false yet Muslims latch on to the story and spread it like it was one of their religious fairytails.

If an ignorant person is one who was never educated on the facts what do you call a person who knows the facts but refuses to believe them and instead creates alternative fantasy stories?

I guess putting an American flag in a trash can is alright, even if putting a Koran in a toilet isn't.

Here's a translated version.

The flag in the trash and the title that says Freedom is in the trash because of Bush?!!!!!! Newsweek is as about as far wrong as one can get. The thinking (yeah, right) that must have gone into that headline must have been from the point of view of al Qai'ida and its allies. Yes, that's right. Its allies.

I don't suppose that Newsweek will ever reveal the identity of the miscreant will they? I don't believe that they owe him confidentiality since he lied to them. They ought to expose him.

There should be a way to hold "un-named" sources accountable. I've often believed the "un-named source" was actually the reporter themselves.

Today's BBC:

quote:
FBI records detail Koran claims

More than 500 detainees are held at Guantanamo
An inmate at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp accused US guards of flushing a Koran down the toilet back in 2002, declassified FBI documents reveal.
The disclosure follows a row over a similar claim made in Newsweek, which the magazine was forced to retract.

The Newsweek claims sparked protests across the Muslim world, and riots in Afghanistan that killed 15 people.

The Pentagon said last week it had seen "no credible and specific allegations" about putting a Koran in a toilet.

Newsweek last week apologised for, and then retracted its report, after saying it could not corroborate the story.

The White House rounded on the magazine, saying its report had done "lasting damage" to the US image in the Muslim world.

But the FBI documents made public on Wednesday, after a request from the human rights group American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), show that such allegations had been made at Guantanamo Bay.

After interviewing a detainee, an unnamed FBI agent wrote on 1 August 2002: "Personally, he has nothing against the United States. The guards in the detention facility do not treat him well. Their behaviour is bad.

"About five months ago, the guards beat the detainees. They flushed a Koran in the toilet.

"The guards dance around when the detainees are trying to pray. The guards still do these things."

The ACLU said the documents showed the Pentagon was aware of such allegations being made at Guantanamo Bay long ago, but had repeatedly turned a blind eye to "mounting evidence of widespread abuse".

The Pentagon did not immediately comment on the documents, but officials have said recently that various claims made by former detainees have been proved false.


Protests against alleged US abuse of the Koran continue

Officials say they have begun comparing detainee complaints to see if any are corroborated.

ACLU lawyer Jameel Jaffer said: "Unfortunately, one thing we've learned over the last couple of years is that detainee statements about their treatment at Guantanamo and other detention centres sometimes have turned out to be more credible than US government statements."

Other FBI documents released on Wednesday detailed further accusations, including one by a detainee who said a female interrogator wiped his face with her menstrual blood.

Meanwhile Amnesty International urged the US to shut Guantanamo Bay, calling it "the gulag of our time".

In a report the group said the US had undermined human rights across the world, by trying to "redefine and sanitise torture".

The White House dismissed the report as "ridiculous and unsupported".

Spokesman Scott McClellan said allegations of mistreatment were being investigated.

More than 500 people are being held at Guantanamo Bay, the US naval base on Cuba, suspected of links to the al-Qaeda network.

Some have been detained for more than three years, but have not been charged.

CNN just had an excellent piece broadcast. The pentigon has released reports and video of detainees ripping out pages from the Koran then trying to incite other detains by claiming guards did it. Then there is the video of detains throwing the Koran on the ground and claiming guards did it.

It just goes to show the type of people who are in Gitmo and how nothing they claim should ever be taken at face value. No one should forget the Al Qaeda handbook which as found in Iraq which told Al Qaeda people to lie and to always claim the infidels had commited crimes even when they didn't.
