On the matter of Defense Department inspector general reports, the Examiner editors are even more right on the money than their editorial indicates — albeit with one caveat about how they used the example of the Vietnam War to make their case.

The public deserves as much information as it can get (aside from military secrets) to decide whether to support how it uses their money and risks American lives in foreign missions.
