Salon.com | Joe Conason's Journal: "God is my intelligence source
A different kind of military officer seems destined for glory in the Bush administration. As military analyst William Arkin and NBC News have revealed, the officer now in charge of such sensitive missions as finding Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein is an 'intolerant Christian extremist' named Jerry Boykin. Among the intelligence feats accomplished by Gen. Boykin was the discovery of a mysterious dark cloud over the Somali capital of Mogadishu. He has since shared that revelation in a slideshow he presented to a church group:



'Ladies and gentlemen, this is your enemy,' he told the congregation. 'It is the principalities of darkness. It is a demonic presence in that city that God revealed to me as the enemy.'



Boykin has also received some domestic political intel from the Almighty. 'George Bush was not elected by a majority of the voters in the United States,' the general once confided to an Oregon congregation. 'He was appointed by God.'
