400 copies of the Koran destroyed for one fake reported

Larry King aired a pre-taped interview with Vice President Dick Cheney on CNN this evening.


On one segment, Cheney said that during Hamid Karzai's state visit to Washington, the first repurcussions of the false Newsweek "Koran desecration" at Gitmo story were being acted out in various locations in Afghanistan.


Cheney quoted Karzai as having told him and President Bush that in Jalalabad in the northern part of his country, inflamed rioters attacked one of their own Afghan cultural centers and burned it to the ground.


Inside of the cultural center there had been over 400 especially fine copies of the Koran.


"They destroyed over 400 copies of the Koran," Cheney told Larry King, ".......all because of a false report that one copy of the Koran had been flushed down a toilet at Guantanamo."


Cheney then cracked his world famous wry, crooked smile and that segment ended!
