I can agree with the first part but what about prison systems all over the world?
Why is this place so special? Everything is already videotaped and documented meticulously.
Should we suddenly launch massive investigations into prisons in general? I have never been to prison but I am pretty sure they are not in place to entertain the inhabitants and make sure they have a good time in general.
While we are at it lets fund massive investigations into finding evidence of Atlantis, Ghosts, Reincarnation, and Bigfoot.
In the same report that found that there were some incidents where the Koran was not treated with respect by guards or other American personnel there are fifteen incidents where prisoners treated the Koran far worse:
a. On 19 NOV 02, a detainee used his Koran as a pillow while he lay in his cell. The guards on duty recorded this incident in the electronic blotter.
b. On 11 MAY 03, a guard observed a detainee rip up his Koran and state he was no longer a Muslim. The guard recorded the incident contemporaneously in a sworn statement.
c. On 14 MAY 03, a guard observed a detainee rip his Koran into small pieces. The guard recorded the incident contemporaneously in a sworn statement.

e. On 17 JUN 03, a detainee began to laugh as the detainees near him prayed. He asked for the Sergeant of the Guard and an interpreter. When they arrived he threw his Koran around his cell. Then he requested that the interpreter place his Koran in the box each detainee has above his cell in order to offend the rest of the block. Guard personnel recorded the detainee’s actions in the electronic blotter system.
f. On 24 JUN 03, a guard observed a detainee rip his Koran and throw it out of his cell. The guard recorded the incident contemporaneously in a sworn statement.
g. On 26 JUL 03, a detainee threw his Koran on his cell floor. Detainees residing near him complained to the guards about his actions and he was moved to a different cell. Guard personnel recorded the detainee’s actions in the electronic blotter system.
h. On 5 DEC 03, two detainees complained to a guard that a third detainee had urinated in their cells to prevent them from praying. The first two detainees resided in the cells adjacent to the third detainee at the time. They stated that when they tried to pray or read the Koran, the third detainee spat and threw urine on them. The first two detainees were subsequently moved to different cells. Guard personnel recorded these actions and the relocation of the two detainees in the electronic blotter system.
i. On 23 FEB 04, a guard observed a detainee place two Korans in his toilet and state he no longer cared about the Koran or his religion.

The guard recorded the incident contemporaneously in a sworn statement.
j. On 22 MAR 04, guard personnel observed a detainee tear the cover off of his Koran while inside his cell. The incident was recorded in the electronic blotter system.
k. On 28 MAR 04, a detainee asked a guard to move a second detainee because he was throwing urine on the first detainee’s Koran. The guard recorded the first detainee’s request in the electronic blotter system. We have been unable to verify if the detainee was moved as requested.
l. On 21 SEP 04, an unknown guard conducted a routine search of a detainee’s cell. During the search the guard discovered that the detainee had ripped out pages of his Koran. The detainee used tape from the Koran binding to secure the Koran pages over the vent to keep the air from coming into his cell. The incident was recorded in the electronic blotter system.
