Beckwith [1] has a great zinger and an accusation of a double standard, and an interesting question all rolled into one:
What if it turned out that the guards at Gitmo did in fact flush a Koran down the toilet, but that they did so because they received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to photograph the “event” and display it at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City under the title “Flush Koran.” It would not be unlike what happened in the late 1990s when NEA recipient Andres Serrano offered us for public display the now infamous “Piss Christ,” a crucifix upside down in a jar of urine.
I may come back and comment later. For the moment, I’m laughing too hard.
Great stuff….
