You need to study up on Islam, my friend. Quickly.

The most "Un-Holy Thing" on this Earth, is a Blood Soaked Battlefield filled with dead and dying men.

It is so awfully horrible that it can not be described in words.

Whoever leaked sensitive/classified material like this should have their balls cut off.

This just makes our job over in Iraq and Afghanistan that much more difficult.

So where is the classified material?

The story says the material was so sensitive it was hand carried directly to the President.

You do realize that someone who's already been neutered was asking you where the classified docs were, right? steer?

Quote: MacArthur told “Christian ministers of the need for their work in Japan. ‘The more missionaries we can bring out here, and the more occupation troops we can send home, the better.’ The Pocket Testament League, at my request, distributed 10,000,000 Bibles translated into Japanese. Gradually, a spiritual regeneration in Japan began to grow.”[2]

Rhetorical question: Can a cover sheet of a classified report not be classified?
Many cover sheets show a title and author(s), that is it.

"who's already been neutered" yep, family did that early.

for the record Rumsfeld office responded to this:

Quote:Statement by Keith Urbahn

Office of Donald Rumsfeld

GQ’s “Facts” on Rumsfeld

The slides in the “World Intelligence Update” were prepared on a daily basis by military personnel serving on the Joint Staff, which reported to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, not the Secretary of Defense. The report was briefed regularly to senior military officials in the Pentagon – only occasionally to the Secretary of Defense and not to the President of the United States.

Rumsfeld was fully aware that words and actions could be harmful and counterproductive to the war effort. It’s safe to say that some of these cover slides could be considered in that category. The suggestion that Rumsfeld would have composed, approved of, or personally shown the slides to President Bush is flat wrong. It did not happen.

Given that Draper used anonymous sources for this charge as well as for the rest of the innuendo in his piece, one would think he might have at least done a cursory review of the facts. He might then have avoided being taken by people with an axe grind. When Draper goes back and checks reality against his reporting, he might also check whether GQ is in need of a new gossip columnist.
