Not a Religious War
Remember that guy....the General, Boykin, who, in full military gear spoke in church about how "our God" was superior to the Muslim God, and that proving that was part of what we're doing in Iraq, the guy who said Bush was made President by God?

Remember, the President had to go back and remind everyone that *wink-wink* this is not a religious war? The we-don't-really-think-we're-superior-to-all-Muslims argument the Bush Administration and the Pentagon tried so hard to peddle in the early march to war was kind of under-cut by Lt. Gen. Boykin, wouldn't you say?

So in this search for responsibility we're in the middle of right now - to figure out who it was that was in charge of defining methods of interrogation, and chains of command in that process, it would look pretty bad if it turned out that this same Boykin "briefed a top Pentagon civilian official last summer on recommendations on ways military interrogators could gain more intelligence from Iraqi prisoners," wouldn't it?
