The Answer Is Peeing in the Wind

Was talking with some friends this morning about the Newsweek thing. Then I see the AP is reporting on the official investigation which just came out -- what perfect timing! It contains the following information as to how urine got on a detainee's Koran:

"In the March incident, as described in the report, the guard had left his observation post to go outside to urinate. The wind blew his urine through an air vent into the cell block. The guard's supervisor reprimanded him and assigned him to gate guard duty, where he had no contact with detainees, for the rest of his assignment at Guantanamo Bay."

OOOOHHHH! I see now. It was all an ACCIDENT. I'm not clear on one point though -- was he reprimanded for leaving his post, or for pissing in the wind?

Leaving your post - very bad...deserves punishment.

Peeing in the wind - well that's a natural, normal way for strong red-blooded 'Merikin men to behave - that deserves prizes, promotions and pats on the back. Especially when it gits on them devil sand-monkey's sacrilegious paraphenalia. But - we ain't 'gon say that in public...we'll just have him up to W's for a little private party. We got the cutest lil ol' white party hats for that!
