Salon.com Politics: "Sometime in the last couple of weeks (though it's not clear exactly when), the U.S. Marine Corps Web site posted this image in its photo gallery, which it identified as having been taken in Iraq on May 5, 2005. The tank with the words 'New Testament' painted on its main gun was accompanied by a blurb (cached here by War Room) entitled 'M1-A1 Abrams tank rolls over insurgency in Iraq,' which emphasized the tank's destructive capabilities. It referred to the 'New Testament' in particular as 'an intimidating piece of machinery.' The caption reiterated that the tank itself was called the 'New Testament.'"

...

"The Pentagon, however, appears to have realized the folly of its ways; the image and accompanying text disappeared from the Marine Corps site Thursday afternoon."
