Mitch Rapp? That is VERY “inside baseball,” even for FreeRepublic. But he could live with it - the information just wouldn’t make its way up the food chain. But . . . I do wonder how this post-Bush dispensation will influence his portrayal and future books.
I could imagine Mitch rushing into Panetta’s office and slapping him silly, then telling the Director that Mitch will do what he has to do to protect America...even if Panetta won’t.
