Byline: The Register-Guard
Editing ignored enemy abuses
Regarding "Pentagon confirms Quran was kicked at Guantanamo" (Register-Guard, June 4): The Register-Guard picked up the above-referenced story written by Robert Burns from The Associated Press. Burns wrote three AP releases on the subject. Each of them mentioned 15 abuses of the Quran by the detainees. Surprise, surprise - The Register-Guard edited this out.
Full explication of five American abuses; full disregard of 15 enemy abuses. Truth is once again subordinated to the newspaper's agenda of undermining the Bush administration in both editorial and what passes for news coverage.
