WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is apologizing for the burning of Muslim holy books in a pile of garbage at a U.S. military base in Afghanistan.
Press secretary Jay Carney says it was a "deeply unfortunate incident" that does not reflect the respect the U.S. military has for the religious practices of the Afghans.
Carney echoed military officials Tuesday in saying that the Quran burning at Bagram Air Field happened unintentionally, and an investigation was being undertaken to understand why it did and ensure it would not happen again.

Screw them.has anyone apologized for 9-11 yet?
the books were being used to pass information among the prisoners. if they are so sacred why were the prisoners mutilating them and using them to undermine the efforts of the troops. because they are enemy combatents and should be treated like prisoners. they were trying to kill americans. stop the apologies
We should not be apologizing for this. The hypocrites were using their "sacred" quran for terror messages. The books needed to be burned. Our pansy White House needs to grow a set!
Burn baby burn!
ANON 11:37 I agree with you BURN BABY BURN!!
Napalm the crowds, too. If there's a few qurans with them, I'll apologize. No problem.
All of these comments are sick.
And to think that you people actually vote?
