Blame Pakistan’s Imran Khan and the Bush Administration, Not "Newsweek": "There have been many disturbing allegations that interrogators at Guantanamo and other prisons under U.S. supervision have desecrated the Muslim holy book. That anyone would have grounds to believe such allegations fills me with shame.

But how can any reasonable person not entertain the possibility that officials permitted to hurt and humiliate human beings might also maltreat a sacred text? The Bush administration, from top to bottom, has created a climate of credibility for these allegations."
