Reading the Rolling Stone article again and very closely, it becomes obvious that the McChrystal quotes do not add up to a firing offense, do not constitute insubordination, and are not the sort of occasion for other than the rebuke that Secretary Gates delivered this morning Mark Levin had the same reaction. It's a lawyer's reaction -- they read the piece and noticed that the direct quotes added up to nothing. But in the larger scheme, it doesn't matter -- the damage is done by the whole article. If 9/10 of the article is a journalist making a mountain out of a molehill, it wouldn't be the first time.
