US general censured for remarks

This guy is a loose cannon who needs more than censure: I'd say early retirement is entirely warranted here.

Not only was it more of the same loony/fundie nonsense I've some to expect out of this Administration, but it was by the deputy undersecretary of defence for intelligence in a very public forum. In fact, in multiple public forums. If we can't can him for being a religious wingnut, we should be able to drop the ax for sheer stupidity. I can hear Al Jazeera now: "see, we told you, the Crusaders really are back! Their chief of intelligence says Allah is Satan!"

A US general who called the "war on terror" as a Christian campaign against Satan broke Pentagon rules, an inquiry has found.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
