LT. GENERAL BOYKIN RAPPED

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 19, 2004 06:49 AM

The Department of Defense inspector general has finished a report on Lt. Gen. William Boykin, a top-ranking intelligence officer, who raised the ire of Muslims by
giving speeches in uniform in which he described the war on terror as a Christian battle against Satan. According to Reuters, Boykin violated Pentagon rules requiring him to clear the speeches and failing to issue a required disclaimer at the speeches that he was not representing official Pentagon policy. On the other hand, Reuters noted, the report said Boykin did make “good faith efforts” to consult legal advisers about his speaking activities and that should be considered when the Army Secretary assessed the seriousness of the violations.

Chuck Holton, an Army ranger who served under Boykin in Somalia and attended one of the controversial speeches in question, reported on how Boykin’s remarks were taken out of context here.
