Rant of the Day,

"Retired Major General Paul Eaton’s Op-Ed piece in Sunday’s New York Times seems to have attracted quite a bit of attention in both the blogosphere and the corporate media due to the blistering smackdown General Eaton administered to Rummy’s sorry ass. Yesterday, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer made quite a big deal out of trying to discredit it, going so far as to interview Colonel H.R. McMaster (the author of the book Dereliction of Duty, cited by MG Eaton in his NYT piece) to see if the colonel agreed with the retired general - a pointless exercise in journalism given that a serving officer is forbidden by law and regulation from publicly criticizing the SECDEF. What was the point, Wolfie?

But I think the pundits, the bloggers and the media celebrities are all missing MG Eaton’s two most important messages."
