It takes another blow from the do-gooders.
PISSING IN THE WIND: Maybe I should get this off my chest. I don’t believe the military’s account of how a Koran got splattered by a guard’s urine. The reason is not that I have completely lost trust in the military’s credibility (although I have a lot less faith than I did a couple of years ago, and that goes for Pat Tilman’s parents as well). It’s that the story, in its face, seems like something obviously made up. We are supposed to believe that a guard was relieving himself outside near the open window of a cell. His pee was allegedly carried by a gust of wind, which somehow managed to guide the pee around and into an open window, where the Koran and a detainee were unfortunately placed. I mean: come off it. They have no latrines? There are ground-level open windows for prisoners? Our military is so high-tech that their pee can now turn corners? Maybe someone out there can help me understand this story better. Have I missed something? Or is this as laughable on its face as it appears to be?
