#1 hey, Hey, HEY!

That's over the line. You don't want us to send Mr. Holder over there for an honest debate about race, now do you?

Oh, you do? Want to get armed to the tooth?

#2 Afghan inmates passed messages in Korans: officials

The US military removed Korans from a US-run prison in Afghanistan because inmates were suspected of using the sacred book to pass messages to each other, American officials said Tuesday.

The Korans and other religious material were later burned at the Bagram airfield, causing outrage in Afghanistan and triggering a protest Monday with petrol bombs hurled outside the sprawling US base, which includes a large prison.

"The material was removed because there was a concern that the detainees were communicating with each other," one US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP.
