"We're Dealing with a Christian Taliban"

"We're Dealing with a Christian Taliban": "Last month, the Pentagon pulled the plug on a plan to dispatch so-called 'freedom packages' to U.S. troops in Iraq that included Bibles, proselytising materials in English and Arabic, and an apocalyptic computer game in which 'soldiers for Christ' battle satanic 'Global Community Peacekeepers'. The scheme was derailed in part because of the efforts of Mikey Weinstein, founder and president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, which seeks to protect the wall separating church and state in the United States armed forces. Weinstein, in his own words, is no 'bleeding-heart liberal'. He is a 1977 honor graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, and spent 10 years in the Air Force as a 'JAG' or military attorney serving as both a federal prosecutor and criminal defence attorney.

Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

The informer, codenamed Curveball was Rafid Ahmed Alwan who, in 1999, turned up at a refugee centre in Germany seeking political asylum.
