Still no word on that Pentagon inspector general's report on some 
controversial anti-Muslim statements, caught on videotape, made by Lt. Gen. 
William G. "Jerry" Boykin, deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence.

It's been more than seven months since the Pentagon announced the 
investigation after Boykin, in uniform, talked about the war on terrorism 
as a "spiritual battle" and made comments disparaging of Islam. Muslims 
went ballistic.

Let's see, Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba did his investigation into Abu 
Ghraib prison in a couple of months or so, beginning in January and 
finishing in March. Is it that he types faster than others? Or is the speed 
of the investigation proportional to the rank of the suspect? Lower the 
rank, shorter the investigation. (Even better when it's a bunch of 
reservists.) What is that old military expression? Different spanks for 
different ranks?
