"It does not explain why Hackworth felt it necessary to facilitate getting photos to CBS...."

If you consider that Hackworth loves to be in the news, for any reason, it falls into place. He's no longer accepted as a military "expert" due to his mistakes prior to and during the first Gulf War (He claimed 10,000 dead Americans would result from our kicking Saddam out of Kuwait, as I recall).

At this point, personally I view Hackworth as a gadfly more than anything else.

I meant a legitimate reason. I KNOW the reason he did it.
