A Senate hearing into the abuse of Iraqi prisoners was told on Tuesday
that Lt
Gen William Boykin, an evangelical Christian under review for saying his
God was
superior to that of the Muslims, briefed a top Pentagon civilian official
last
summer on recommendations on ways military interrogators could gain more
intelligence from Iraqi prisoners.
<snip> I belive this is the feller that also claimed Bush had been directly
appointed by God!
Boykin touched off a firestorm last October after giving speeches while in
uniform in which he referred to the war on terrorism as a battle with
"Satan"
and said America had been targeted "because we're a Christian nation." He
said
later he was not anti-Islam or any other religion.
Boykin is obviously a lying hound as well as a complete and utter fruitcake.
How do superstitious savage neanderthals like this get into sensitive
positions of power? Shades of Jack D. Ripper...
President George W Bush distanced himself from Boykin's remarks, but the
Pentagon said it would not fire the general, who played a role in the 1993
clash
with Somali warlords and the ill-fated hostage rescue attempt in Iran in
1980.
Hussein Ibish, communications director for the Arab American
Anti-Discrimination
Committee, said his group and others had repeatedly called for Boykin to
be
reassigned to a less sensitive job until the Pentagon inspector general
completes his investigation of Boykin's remarks.
