I think we can speculate from this information that it is possible that
Rumsfeld didn't want to describe the chain of command responsible for abusing
prisoners in Iraq because it might just remind people that the issue of Jerry
Boykin is not only unresolved, but rather than removing him from influence,
he was instead setting up assassination teams in Iraq under the guidance of
the IDF. And we surely don't want to discuss the IDF in relation to the Iraqi
torture scandal, do we?
MSNBC describes Boykin in an Oct 15, 2003 article just after his bigoted
remarks surfaced:
This summer, Boykin was promoted to deputy undersecretary of defense, with a
new mission for which many say he is uniquely qualified: to aggressively
combine intelligence with special operations and hunt down so-called high-
value terrorist targets including bin Laden and Saddam.
But that new assignment may be complicated by controversial views Boykin — an
evangelical Christian — has expressed in dozens of speeches at churches and
prayer breakfasts around the country. In a half-dozen video and audiotapes
obtained by NBC News, Boykin says America’s true enemy is not bin Laden.
“Well, is he [bin Laden] the enemy? Next slide. Or is this man [Saddam] the
enemy? The enemy is none of these people I have showed you here. The enemy is
a spiritual enemy. He’s called the principality of darkness. The enemy is a
guy called Satan.”
Why are terrorists out to destroy the United States? Boykin said: “They’re
after us because we’re a Christian nation.”
