PENTAGON BIBLE USE

Pentagon briefings no longer quote the Bible. "The Pentagon said Monday it no longer includes a Bible quote on the cover page of daily intelligence briefings it sends to the White House as was practice during the Bush administration".

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said he did not know how long the Worldwide Intelligence Update cover sheets quoted from the Bible .... For a period in 2003, at least, the daily reports prepared for President George W. Bush carried quotes from the books of Psalms and Ephesians and the epistles of Peter .... The Bible quotes apparently aimed to support Bush at a time when soldiers' deaths in Iraq were on the rise ....

Let’s see. Um, 2003 was 6 years ago. Why is this news in May of 2009?
