an excerpt for you...
A US general who provoked outcry by describing the "war on terror" as a Christian campaign against Satan broke Pentagon rules, an inquiry has found.
Top-ranking intelligence officer Lt Gen William Boykin made the remarks at several church gatherings last year.
The Pentagon report has yet to be officially released but leaked copies of it have been seen by the media.
It says Lt Gen Boykin violated rules by failing to show he was speaking in a personal, rather an official, capacity.
The deputy undersecretary of defence for intelligence generally wore his military uniform when he addressed the evangelical church audiences.
Apology
He was quoted as saying radical Islamists detested the US because "we're a Christian nation, because our foundation and our roots are Judeo-Christian... And the enemy is a guy named Satan".
Describing a battle against a Muslim warlord in Somalia in 1993, the much-decorated general said, "I knew my God was bigger than his. I knew that my God was a real God and his was an idol."
