Obama has directed our military not to tell the whole truth.
In fact, those Korans were used as intel portals. We are forbidden to confiscate or even handle Korans. All the prisoners were given identical Korans....by us.
That meant we could no longer distinguish one from another. Guess what? Their visitors showed up with the same Korans.
Yup, supplied by us.
Then, the visitors would simply swap Korans that were full of handwritten notes passing intel back and forth.
The prisoners did the same thing with each other. We finally figured that out and started confiscating Korans and giving out new ones.
We had no option but to harvest what intel we could and destroy the old ones somehow.
We should have just shredded them.
Who’s stupid idea was this?
Exactly! Why did this story get leaked? Why didn’t we shred them like you mentioned? Next thing will be Seal Teams playing in Hollywood movies. WTF is going on?
Yes, that is what is SO galling - THEY has already descrated their own books by writing in them, and yet, they've got nerve to critize us for burning them!
