I guess this a politics news!! Maybe can be a religion one!!
Major General Douglas Stone, the commander of detainee operations in Iraq likes to read the Koran every day.
Stone is of Christian faith, he sees the Muslim holy book as essential to his mission: he wants those in his custody - some of whom are hardcore Islamist militants - to do as he does and read it as much as possible.
"I intend to do my part to win in the battlefield of the brain," says Gen Stone. "And I intend to do it by helping [detainees] attack the idea themselves. If they've got a basic education, if they've got Islamic leadership that they trust and believe in, causing them to question [radical ideology], I have seen it work."
