Joseph Biden, D- Del, said in Washington the United States should move toward shutting down the military prison camp in Cuba, calling it "the greatest propaganda tool that exists for recruiting of terrorists around the world." Deadly clashes erupted in Afghanistan following a claim, and then retracted by Newsweek magazine, that U.S. interrogators had flushed a Quran down a toilet. After that report, thousands of angry protesters across the Middle East demanded an official apology from the United States, with some calling on their countries to sever relations with Washington. The Pentagon responded angrily to the Newsweek report, but confirmed late Friday that a U.S. soldier had deliberately kicked a prisoner's holy book.
The report also said prison guards threw water balloons in a cell block, causing an unspecified number of Qurans to get wet; a guard's urine splashed on a detainee and his Quran; an interrogator stepped on a Quran; and a two-word obscenity was written in English on a Quran's inside cover. The findings are among the results of a probe last month by Guantanamo commander Brig. Gen. Jay Hood. Pentagon officials said the problems were relatively minor and that U.S.
commanders had gone to great lengths to enable detainees to practice their religion.
