There’s a scandal behind the scandal. Someone in Washington has to have screened the reporter. No-one gets close to HQ with out a clearance. It was clearly botched.
My guess is that the general has gotten used to all the reporters being military men. Janes Defence weekly, Pacific Defence Reporter, etc, All will have been in and out of the HQ’s. Being defence men they’re soldier reporters. They hear and ignore the barracks chatter or report it in a more subtle way.
This is a war where every soldier has an ipod in one pocket and ammo in the other. In that context a music magazine makes sense.
There may be good news, in a few weeks time Mr McChrystal may be invited back to Afghanistan by Hamid Karzai as a consultant. This would be a brilliant option. Gen Petraeus commanding the Nato units and Mr McChrystal training the Afghan elite units. If it isn’t the plan it should be. Someone give McChrystal and Karzai a hint.
Rolling Stone is pretty washed up has been of a magazine. They needed the publicity. What a crappy to get it. The mag appeals to a crowd that is pretty much ignorant to real politics and the outcome of a story like this. Most of their readers voted for o because bruce told them to.
I can’t download the standard-fi version. Can someone fix the link?
