Boykin, again

May 12, 2004 By Mark Kleiman @markarkleiman

Gen. William “I knew that my God was a real God, and his was an idol” Boykin is the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, reporting to Undersecretary Carbone.

I’ve been trying to resist the temptation to assume that Boykin must somehow have been involved in setting up the torture of the idolators at Abu Ghraib. But it’s hard not to wonder what might have been in the briefing he delivered last summer on “ways military interrogators could gain more intelligence from Iraqi prisoners.”
