Just for the sake of argument, I'd be happy to stipulate that ALL of the comments in the article were fabricated. It still doesn't justify -- IMHO -- why an agent of that particular magazine would be given such proximity to an officer of his rank, and his closest aides and staff. It was asking -- no, begging -- for trouble.

I think MCChrystal's error in judgment was thinking he could get a fair shake from RS. What really went wrong only the general knows and he wants to keep it to himself for the good of his beloved corps.
