Freed from Gitmo, Man Promptly Blows Self Up

Via Jihad Watch

A Kuwaiti man released from the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay in 2005 has carried out a suicide bombing in Iraq, his cousin told Al Arabiya television on Thursday.

You have to wonder if this man was one of the "innocents" who've been held unjustly at Gitmo.  When you hear/ read MSM stories about the poor souls locked away for no reason, think of this guy who couldn't wait to blow people up.

In his intro to the story Robert Spencer mentions that American soldiers use gloves to handle the Koran, and that  may just confirms that the prisoners are the ones in charge.  Commenter Mentat provided the language in the DOD memorandum on the handling of the Koran:

4. Handling.

a. Clean gloves will be put on in full view of the detainees prior to handling.

b. Two hands will be used at all times when handling the Koran in manner signaling respect and reverence. Care should be used so that the right hand is the primary one used to manipulate any part of the Koran due to the cultural association with the left hand. Handle the Koran as if it were a fragile piece of delicate art.

I'd like to see the reaction if this kind of treatment was afforded to the Bible.
