Instead what he said critical of the administration was stressed while ignoring other parts of his opinion in order to gain political advantage. Yeah, it's not even possible that some politicos on the left might have taken advantage of limited release of those particular opinions at all. The left is perfect and has no politicos that might want to get people in power using such devices...It was more than just that Damo, this guy had no plan or idea on the war either. All he seemed to know was stay the course. Most likely because Rummy and Bush have been running the show.
