The editors at the Times will presumably offer MoveOn a special rate for the full page ad:
A special operations task force that operated in secret? You don’t say. Operating outside the normal chain of command and with minimal legal accountability? So McChrystal did exactly what SOCOM is supposed to do, and because the New York Times editors didn’t have the means or the opportunity to expose these state secrets in a manner that could truly undermine national security, they want justice. It’s sort of amazing that the left’s reaction to McChrystal hasn’t been closer to the way they treated Petraeus when he returned to testify on the surge in September ’07. After all, McChrystal was the man who approved Pat Tillman’s Silver Star. His men paintballed detainees. And now he’s being rewarded with a fourth start and a theater command. It’s almost like Obama is rewarding his generals for inflicting violence and death on our nation’s enemies and shielding his own men from embarrassment and political attacks.
