Flag-Eating

From the October 15, 2001, issue of NRODT: “Frenzied protesters in Peshawar set fire to the American flag, then ripped it apart and ate the smoldering remnants yesterday,” went the report from Pakistan on September 20. Supposing this disgraceful behavior had occurred on U.S. soil, would it have been covered by the Flag-burning Amendment? Or do we need a new initiative: a Flag-eating Amendment?
