While I think the criticisms of the military leaders should be given due consideration, it would be foolish to ignore their present agendas. E.g., the article states that Colonel Crowley is "now a senior fellow at the liberal Center for American Progress."

From the wikipedia:

The Center for American Progress is a liberal U.S. think tank and advocacy organization led and created by John Podesta, a former chief of staff to Bill Clinton. It is located in Washington, D.C. The Center for American Progress has a sister advocacy group, the American Progress Action Fund, and campus outreach group, Campus Progress. As those adjuncts indicate, the Center has a more activist and partisan approach than most think tanks. At its inception, most media noted its partisan mission; in the words of the Atlanta Constitution, "former Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta has launched a liberal policy institute, the Center for American Progress, to drive the message for Democrats."

Center for American Progess - Wikipedia

Frankly, I think it is rather misleading for the author(s) of the article not to disclose such information to their readers. They give the impression that the guy works for some unbiased think-tank, when in reality, he works for an organization that was formed to "drive the message for Democrats." In other words, he is a paid shill.

In other words, he is a paid shill.

And if he worked for a conservative leaning think tank and were supporting Rummy,I can guaran-damn-tee you that they'd be calling him a paid shill!
