General Who Made Anti-Islam Remark Tied to POW Case
http://www.*******.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=5109973


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.

Critics have suggested those recommendations amounted to a senior-level go-ahead for the ****** and physical abuse of prisoners, possibly to "soften up" detainees before interrogation -- a charge the Pentagon denies.

As expected - it's more likely some(one) high brass with their own agenda behind the prison-scandal, not the american army per defualt.

My best bet: an general with an agenda and the intelligence-agencys that are all to hapy to recieve all the info they get, no-matter how it was recieved.

Again, so no-one will misunderstand this post: It's not anything per defualt in the american army.
