Re: my previous email...sorry I missed the paragraph in your article regarding after action reports. Am I to understand from your article that absolutely no after-action report exists for this episode?
Beyond that, I still feel that the citation is not a piece of primary documentation. Your article, while presented fairly in my opinion, puts too much emphasis (also in my opinion) on an anonymous(?) document. Any help?
and there is no convincing documentary evidence to settle the argument.
This might be another way of saying there are after-action reports, but Dobbs didn't find them "convincing". I bet we might find them "convincing". These reporters sometimes have a hard time being convinced when their liberal guy is in trouble.
