Not been following this, but if the books were burnt at a US base, how the fuck did the Taliban find out about it?

The US uses the local population as it's workforce. I think they asked them to dispose of the Qur'an, instead they liberated the books.

I think you'll find we lost an entire army in that area in the 1800's trouble is people don't learn from history.

Yanks really can be stupid, eh?

It's not rocket surgery is it?, if you are going to burn the holy books of the Country you are in, do not get the locals to do it.
