This article is MSM propaganda designed to get to the line at the end about losing popular support for the war.
Also, this is about an investigation dealing with the supposed cover-up, which one general supposedly says did not happen. Now, supposedly, we've got another general saying someone might have done something criminal, and others might have done something not by the book.
And all of this is from anonymous sources in the military who are sworn to secrecy.
But the reporter can cite all of those supposed statements and never get held accountable for any of the wrong ones.
Lotsa "supposedlys" in your post....which is the EXACT problem with this whole case.
