Why is Rolling Stone off the hook in this? Just like the NYT, they have chosen to publish information knowing full well the damage it would do to our country, especially our troops in harm’s way. Freedom of the press is one thing but deliberate efforts to cause this dramatic shakeup in command during a time of war is quite another. Our president is concerned about responsible blogging and reporting on the internet, yet he didn’t have a thing to say in his remarks that would condemn RS or the writer of the article, who will now make the rounds on all the talk shows and have his few minutes of fame. He won’t lie awake at night like many mothers wondering if this may somehow have a negative impact on sons that sleep in the sand half a world away. Maybe it will be an instructional moment for our president and his staff; -they, too, like to name call and take cheap shots at others when they should be held to a higher standard. The comments from this article were embarrassing and demeaning. So are remarks that have come from the White House about tea party goer’s and people being bitter clingers, and on and on. We harvest the respect we sow. Hopefully, everybody has learned something.
