Boykin reprimand
A defense source tells us U.S. Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin received a letter of reprimand for comments he made in speeches describing the war on terrorism as a Christian battle against evil.
The letter was issued by Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Richard Cody to Gen. Boykin, special operations forces specialist, for violating Pentagon rules.
The source disclosed the letter after Gen. Cody declined to specify type of punishment received by Gen. Boykin.
"I took the appropriate action based on the recommendations of the inspector general," Gen. Cody told Reuters during the annual meeting of the Association of the U.S. Army. He noted that the action taken was not significant.
The Pentagon inspector general stated in a report in August that Gen. Boykin, a deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence, should face "appropriate corrective action" for failing to clear official data in a series of religious speeches given after January 2002.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has praised Gen. Boykin for his "outstanding record."
