<b>Pentagon details mishandling of Quran</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In other confirmed incidents, <b>water balloons thrown by prison guards caused an unspecified number of Qurans to get wet; a guard’s urine came through an air vent and splashed on a detainee and his Quran; and in a confirmed but ambiguous case, a two-word obscenity was written in English on the inside cover of a Quran.</b>

The findings, released after normal business hours Friday evening, are among the results of an investigation last month by Brig. Gen. Jay Hood, the commander of the detention center in Cuba, that was triggered by a Newsweek magazine report — later retracted — that a U.S. soldier had flushed one Guantanamo Bay detainee’s Quran down a toilet.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Hood said that of nine mishandling cases that were studied in detail by reviewing thousands of pages of written records, five were confirmed to have happened. He could not determine conclusively whether the four others took place.

In one of those four unconfirmed cases, a detainee in<b> April 2003 complained to FBI and other interrogators that guards “constantly defile the Quran.”</b> The detainee alleged that in one instance <b>a female military guard threw a Quran into a bag of wet towels to anger another detainee, </b>and he also alleged that another guard said the Quran belonged in the toilet and that guards were ordered to do these things.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In the most recent of those 15 cases, a detainee on Feb. 18, 2005, allegedly ripped up his Quran and handed it to a guard, stating that he had given up on being a Muslim. Several of the guards witnessed this, Hood reported.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
