So much other crap we read nowadays is made up or wildly exaggerated, it pays to double-check and have all the facts and context before accepting something at face value. Rumsfeld biblical quotes were doctored. Rumsfeld Removed References To Iran In Bible Quotes to Bush May 21, 2009, 10:01AM Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld is reported to have provided defense intelligence briefings to the President using bible quotes. ( CBS news kindly linked to a slideshow of some of the cover sheets for the President.) However, after parsing the book of Daniel, Rumsfeld did not provide the President a complete textual citation from the Bible. He left out key words. The complete citation from the Book of Daniel references Persia and its acquisition of territory. These omissions in SecDef's briefing to the President are important. They shed light on information management within the Department of Defense; and indirectly illustrate (incomplete) intelligence and legal compliance within the US government. Despite the west's (uncomfortable) religious foundation for warfare against non-Christians, the accurate scriptures from the Holy Bible didn't fit within the PNAC agenda. Rather than adjust their goals, they selectively ignored God's words. the rest of the article and the actual analysis is here: tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com
