Michael Yon on Joe Galloway, Iraq and torture

Perhaps the most important statement Mike has made on the topic of Iraq is:
One of the main reasons we made so many mistakes in Iraq was that high officials in the Bush Administration were often afraid of the truth and viewed a serious foreign policy question with ideological blinders.  Instead of honestly appraising the facts [...]

Remember and honor, fight with pride, destroy the barbarian death cult
