What really happened at Guantanamo? Last week, amid the heat of the controversy over NEWS-WEEK'S retracted story, new details about the issue of alleged mistreatment of the Qur'an emerged. The International Committee of the Red Cross announced that it had provided the Pentagon with confidential reports about U.S. personnel disrespecting or mishandling Qur'ans at Gitmo in 2002 and 2003. Simon Schorno, an ICRC spokesman, said the Red Cross had provided "several" instances that it believed were "credible." The ICRC report included three specific allegations of offensive treatment of the Qur'an by guards.

He then gave what is from the Defense Department point of view more context and important new information.
