A Christian Taliban, 'Christian Embassy' is running the military.

Mikey Weinstein is a very specific kind of gadfly. When he believes that church and state are intermingling in the military, he goes in with a sting. On Friday, he hit a bullseye when the Inspector General's office of the Department of Defense released a report concluding that a former Pentagon chaplain and several generals inappropriately loaned the prestige of their positions — and that of the Pentagon and the U.S. government — to make a fundraising film for a non-governmental evangelical group, the so-called Christian Embassy. The report identified Christian Embassy as affiliated with the group Campus Crusade for Christ.

The report cleared some DOD personnel of wrongdoing but concluded that the chaplain, Colonel Ralph G. Benson, had "provided a selective benefit" to the Christian Embassy by "mischaracterizing" the video as a documentation of the chaplain's ministry rather than a film promoting the Christian Embassy group and intended for outside consumption. The mischaracterization, the report noted, enabled the video's makers to film in recognizable Pentagon location

Weinstein said of the Inspector General's report, "This is a victory, but a pyrrhic victory. The Pentagon's response has been at best tepid." He predicts that the Inspector General's recommendation for "appropriate corrective action" will be interpreted leniently. However, he says, "this supports what we've been saying, that a Christian Taliban is running the military."

Such rhetoric is fairly typical of Weinstein, who claims that he has faced a retaliatory campaign of harrassment and threats, some of violence. The new Inspector General's report will hardly reduce the flow of Weinstein's hate mail. But it constitutes an instance of official support for some of his concerns.

Not Loyal Bushie Toadies, who's only job is to protect Fuehrer and Party.

:scared:

These lunatics want Armageddon. I do not.

Remember 20 years ago, when the whole country seemed to realize these televangelist freaks were crazy?

What made people forget?

The CCC is very good at hiding what they are doing. I was drawn to a film by an ad about Katrina relief efforts by grassroots volunteers. Turned out to be about testimonials of faith from church folk and preachers than anything else. A group of Liberals that were marching into the area to set up a camp were shown as being more interested in criticising Bush and the war than they were about helping. Funny thing was, the CCC group were hadly shown helping anyone but white folks in the country.

is that the fundie generals, speaking in tongues, can influence their troops to fall in line.

How soon til the troops be wearing weskits with red crosses to battle in the land of the infidel?

Those crazy muslims. Oh, wait a minute.

Don

Stay off of small planes.

Beware when you are invited to secret meetings in isolated places (particularly deserted floors of tall buildings) by BushCrhistians with "information".

Take all the security precautions you would if you had just honked off Al Capone at the height of his power in Chicago, with the possible difference being they can't just have their Loyal Bushie thugs gun him down in broad daylight, but can do just about anything else because they are the police.

Or maybe they can get rid of him without using violence, by tanking his performace reviews or making his life miserable otherwise to force him to resign, like they do at the BushNoJustice Dept.

In either case, Mikey Weinstein, as the article refers to him, better watch his ass, because some of the most conscienceless evil zealots are about to target him. And they are powerful, in many cases working in or commanding the Bushie-controlled organizations that would be responsible for "investigating" his murder.

Be carfeul, Mr. Weinstein, and stay safe.

The chaplain does not 'run the military'. Nor does the 'Christian embassy' sound like a Taliban.

I have 14 years in the Army and had never heard of this group until this post.........

I would bet 99% of all soldiers have no idea who this group is.........
