    Why Do Americans Hate Muslims? Reem Al-Faisal, Arab News May 26, 2005 A few weeks ago an American I met at a friends house asked a much repeated query, “Why do you the Muslims hate the Americans?” To which I answered in the same way as all the preceding instances in which this question was posed to me: “We don’t hate the Americans, we might disagree with a certain US policy and dislike recent American actions in the Muslim world but we surely don’t hate the American people.”

    FBI Memo Reports Guantanamo Guards Flushing Koran Wed May 25, 2005
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An FBI agent wrote in a 2002 document made public on Wednesday that a detainee held at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had accused American jailers there of flushing the Koran down a toilet.
    The release of the declassified document came the week after the Bush administration denounced as wrong a May 9 Newsweek article that stated U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo had flushed a Koran down (…)

    EVEN BEFORE the Bush administration invaded Iraq in March 2003, human rights organizations were raising allegations of torture at U.S. prisons in Afghanistan.
    At the time, the State Department dismissed their allegations as “ridiculous” (just as the White House recently feigned outrage when Newsweek claimed that Guantanamo interrogators flushed the Koran down the toilet—even as evidence surfaced that they urinated on it). As recently as December, military spokesperson Lt. Col. Pamela (…)

    Using The Media For A Magic Trick Eugene Robinson May 24, 2005 I propose that the media spend less of their finite, precious resources doing what I’m doing right now: covering the media.
    No, I don’t want to put all the media writers out of business. Yes, there are days when the making or unmaking of the story is the story. But please, not every day. If we covered government, business, foreign affairs, sports, entertainment and the rest of modern existence as aggressively and thoroughly (…)

    Alas, Hogan’s Heroes. And poor LeBeau. He never stood a chance. The second that Sgt. Schultz discovered the receiver in the coffee pot and then sputtered a report to Colonel Klink, who then discovered the comically obvious bugs in his office, LeBeau’s fate was sealed. But there was so much to go through before the sweet kiss of death finally sucked the last breath from the ill-fated Frenchman. Sure, when Klink called Col. Hogan to his office, Hogan expected to do the usual song and dance - (…)

    A NEW chapter of horror has opened in the brutal treatment of prisoners by American guards and interrogators, this time in Afghanistan.
    A leaked 2,000-page report into the deaths of two detainees details systematic and routine mistreatment at the Bagram military base, 40 miles (64km) north of Kabul.
    Each man had spent most of his five days’ captivity shackled to the ceiling or wall of his cell, a technique that has since been labelled by the US military as a criminal assault. They were (…)

    KORAN AND CYO
    By Peter Fredson
    May 20, 2005
    For the past several days an article in NEWSWEEK, regarding alleged desecration of the Koran by American Soldiers in Guantanamo, has aroused a great deal of comment. Events followed the usual pattern. The first defense of Administration and Pentagon people is to deny everything, vociferously, at length. Next come counter-charges, stating that everything is highly exaggerated and that all is running smoothly.
