Jesus is my policy analyst -- in a nice, chilling footnote to the story of Lt. Gen. William Boykin, Pentagon honcho who likes to badmouth Allah, it seems the White House counsel and press offices deleted key points in Boykin's apology re: his Christo-Military Complex saber-rattling speeches. If President Born-Again himself hadn't already been yammering on about God testing him with this whole Iraq thing, I'd be mildly surprised by this episode. On a more thoughtful note, James Carroll has a reasoned opinion piece on this issue of religious pluralism in government in today's Globe.
