One problem for the United States is that the Newsweek article was not the
first to report
allegations that the Koran had been desecrated at the Guantanamo facility.
In March 2003, Afghan men who had been freed from the prison told reporters in
Kabul that
American soldiers had taunted them by sitting on the Koran or dumping it into a
toilet.
Imran Khan, a Pakistani politician, cited those earlier reports in a telephone
interview
Tuesday. Newsweek was not the only source to report the desecration of the
Koran and Islamic
faith," said Khan, who, according to Newsweek, sparked the protests by
brandishing a copy of
the magazine at a May 6 news conference. "Scores of eyewitnesses accounts have
been
reported. The cat is out of the bag."
