Just to put some perspective on Tom Ricks blog post, check out the discussion at Abu Muqawama:

key graph:
“…his major source for the fact that there is an academic freedom problem at the Army War College is someone who was a guest speaker for a few days a couple of year ago. This fellow drew his conclusion from the comments of some unidentified people who came up to him during lunch.”
There is also discussion about how Tom Ricks is a master at taking statements out of context, conflating them with other “facts” and jumping to conclusions. Seems like some of that is taking place here as well.
