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 sexual and physical abuse of prisoners, possibly to "soften up" detainees before interrogation -- a charge the Pentagon denies

1. Glad this got on here.
I am not sure what this means but I am willing to bet it helps to let anything go on. It seems now that Bush would feel it OK. I am willing to bet the Gen. puts it that way also.

2. Didn't ask for an investigation of himself that is still not done yet?
