Smells like cover-up...
From Truthout.org:
As of 4:15 PDT this story has been updated with a statement by the spokeswoman at the Fort Leavenworth army base.
See the Nehemiah file here.
See the Galatians file here.
Janet Wray, spokeswoman at Fort Leavenworth, confirmed that the bible study guides have been removed from the chaplain's section of the website and said that officials at the army base were reviewing the materials.
When contacted over the weekend about the study guides and the apparent anti-Semitic content contained in the documents, a person who answered the telephone at the Fort Leavenworth chaplain's office refused to disclose his name when asked for comment. The individual, a male, said there have not been prior complaints about the Bible study guides and that "I would not characterize the material as anti-Semitic."
"I guess if you're Jewish you may see it that way, but we're discussing the gospels as it appears in the New Testament," this person said, who added that there was no plan at the time to remove the study guides from the web site.
On Tuesday, a visit to the web address said "the page you are trying to find is unavailable or the address has been typed incorrectly." On Wednesday morning a visit to the web address prompted a request for a password. Truthout has posted the study guides and screen grabs of the website before it was scrubbed.
