The leaker of the Gen. McChrystal memo needs to be found and fired

[bluestateguy]

A full top to bottom review of the Pentagon to discover the identity of the leaker. Then fire the little pissant.

A clear message has to be sent in a new administration, particularly if there are holdovers from the last administration still in the bureaucracy, that unauthorized leaking will not be tolerated.

1. the industrial military complex is lobbying hard to keep the wars alive..fire mccrystal

2. There is a problem

And this isn't the first time either! Just look at all those "analysts", retired military, law enforcement, etc. They still have contacts within the government, who are more then willing to provide their pals with confidential information.

Once someone retires they should have their clearances revoked for 5 years, and any contact with people in the organization they were part of should be investigated.

12. I think that those same conditions

should also be imposed on politicians who lose their re election bids.

5. Buried in the paper:

"The existing goal is to expand the army from 92,000 to 134,000 by December 2011. McChrystal seeks to move that deadline to October 2010."

So the troops were already headed there. McChrystal is saying they need to be there faster.

He'll get them. It's an election year.

6. Another reason to get Limbaugh off Armed Forces Radio.

His lies and hate empower and encourage security leaks like this.

It convinces weak minds that they are doing the right thing.

7. The "leaker" should get a medal and applause.

The military loves to operate behind closed doors when planning to send more troops to kill and die...for nothing but PR.

10. +10 n/t

11. Agreed. And adding that if this had happened under the last administration,

DU would have been cheering. Hypocrisy, it's not just for Republicans anymore.

[Individualist]

13. Absolutely!

8. McChrystal was Darth Cheney's right hand man.

Reward the person who leaked the memo, fire McChrystal.

9. Given that it was likely McChrystal himself, I'm all for that

Treasonous, torturing dog should have been hauled up on charges, not promoted.
