Lead paragraph from a Kansas City Star[*1] front page story:
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Friday released new details about mishandling of the Qur’an at the Guantanamo Bay prison, confirming that a soldier deliberately kicked the Muslim holy book.
OK, so kicking a religion’s holy book is a pretty darn impolite thing to do, and depending on whether or not you believe in the teachings in the book, might just consign you to Hell. But really, is it front page news? Really?
