It was not Americans who desecrated the Qurans; it was Muslim and Taliban prisoners who were using the margins of the Quran to send messages back and forth.
Writing in the Quran was the desecration, but it was done by the Muslims themselves.
A desecrated Quran is required to be destroyed by burning.
All the Americans did was to identify the desecrated Qurans and process them in accordance with the Muslim rules for disposing of desecrated Qurans, i.e., burning.
Why hasn’t this fact been brought out?
They were looking for an excuse to riot and they found it but instead of a President to squash these murderous thugs he apologizes and gives them more ammo because they know he's weak.
Because facts are inconvenient. The wrold is now ruled and ran by regimes of deceiption.

According to wikipedia, you're right. One of the things I hate about Islam is that their demonic cult has compelled me to learn more about them than I ever wanted to know.
Writing on the pages of a Quran is considered to be a deliberate act of blasphemy, punishable by death in some countries, Afghanistan being one. A defiled Quran cannot be thrown away, shredded, or pulped. The "proper" disposal is to either bury or burn the book.
Instead of apologizing, General John Allen should have make a public statement saying that the blasphemers who had dared to deface and defile the Qurans were immediately beheaded by Afghan security. The end.
