It’s another suck-up mistake by a bastion of the MSM. Contrary to the Post’s clains, Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s request for some 40,000 additional troops in Afghanistan was not so sensitive to national security that releasing it one day earlier would have endangered American troops beyond what the Taiban was already doing.
By that logic, the Post should have sat on it a full year, like the NYTimes did on a much more serious story in 2004-05, a story whose being put on ice may well have influenced the 2004 election.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
