FBI memo reports Guantanamo guards flushing Koran
-------------------------------------------------

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An FBI agent wrote in a 2002
document made public on Wednesday that a detainee held
at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had
accused American jailers there of flushing the Koran
down a toilet.
The release of the declassified document came the week
after the Bush administration denounced as wrong a May
9 Newsweek article that stated U.S. interrogators at
Guantanamo had flushed a Koran down a toilet to try to
make detainees talk.
The magazine retracted the article, which had triggered
protests in Afghanistan in which 16 people died.
The newly released document, dated Aug. 1, 2002, contained
a summary of statements made days earlier by a detainee,
whose name was redacted, in two interviews with an FBI
special agent, whose name also was withheld, at the
Guantanamo prison for foreign terrorism suspects.
The American Civil Liberties Union released the memo
and a series of other FBI documents it obtained from
the government under court order through the Freedom
of Information Act.
"Personally, he has nothing against the United States.
The guards in the detention facility do not treat him well.
Their behavior is bad. About five months ago, the guards
beat the detainees. They flushed a Koran in the toilet,"
the FBI agent wrote.
"The guards dance around when the detainees are trying
to pray. The guards still do these things," the FBI agent
wrote.
The Pentagon stated last week it had received "no credible
and specific allegations" that U.S. personnel at Guantanamo
had put a Koran in the toilet.
The documents indicated that detainees were making allegations
that they had been abused and that the Muslim holy book had
been mishandled as early as April 2002, about three months
after the first detainees arrived at Guantanamo.
In other documents, FBI agents stated that Guantanamo detainees
also accused U.S. personnel of kicking the Koran and throwing
it to the floor, and described beatings by guards. But one
document cited a detainee who accused a guard of dropping a
Koran, prompting an "uprising" by prisoners, when it was the
prisoner himself who dropped it.
The Pentagon had no immediate comment on the documents.
The United States currently holds about 520 detainees at
Guantanamo, a high-security prison it opened in January 2002
for non-U.S. citizens caught in the U.S. war on terrorism.
