I know we can count on McClatchy for the best available information. Why? Because it's the only news organization (when it was still Knight Ridder) to not get caught up in the rush to war in Iraq. Don't suppose they'd offer Spencer Ackerman a job, though.
The story linked is not long. It sounds as if the Eikenberry cable made a huge difference. It also makes it clear McCrystal's camp has been leaking all along, and so has the White House.
God, even Joe Biden and Rahm Emanuel. Talk about curtains. Talk about Kabuki.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, unemployment, foreclosures and health care reform.
Yesterday, Sy Hersch was on Fresh Air talking about Pakistan's nukes.
Why would anyone want the job of president? I can barely stand to read about it.
UPDATE: I just reread Ackerman's story, and the whole problem has to do with who was at what meeting when. The fundamentals are the same, and the McClatchy story just expands them a bit so that its clear there are many players working, presumably, for the same goal: As good as we can get in Afghanistan.
