#2 The Association of Alternative Newsweeklies (AAN)represents those free papers you see downtown in beatup honor boxes. They're uniformly hard left.

#4 I read the Village Voice story, and there wasn't much to it: bits and pieces taken from this memo, woven together into a story by a huge pile of interpretive garbage supplied by the story's author.

The memo itself? Nowhere to be seen. Which leads me to wonder just how much of a hack-job had to be done on it to supply the bits and pieces which decorate the author's tale of imminent disaster.

In an exercise like OIF, I would expect a LOT of internal memoranda being passed around, containing frank, no-holds-barred criticism of tactics, strategy, methods, objectives, and results. In an operation like this you want to be your own harshest--and best informed--critic; and our military, especially, is very big on self-criticism as a tool for continuous improvement.

Looks like some asshole thought it would be a neat idea to help out the political opposition by sharing some of this stuff. In my opinion, he ought to be shot.
