Reuter's still sticking to the story at http://news.trust.org/item/20200106193750-gbx3f
The url even has news.TRUST in it.
The authenticity of the letter, which was addressed to the Iraqi defence ministry's Combined Joint Operations Baghdad, was confirmed to Reuters independently by an Iraqi military source.

Yep. There’s another thread about some military over-paid flunky ‘unexpectedly’ leaving his job.

There are no honest mistakes in the DC Swamp.
Even mistakes are by design.

Blame the letter on an Obama-holdover.
Better yet....find a Harvard or Yale grad to hold the bag.

I agree.
I think it was an intention release and it was to give Iraq something to think about.

Perhaps, this was an Ali Watkins/Jimmy Wolfe event.
Everyone had a different version of the letter and now the joke is on whoever published it.

Well that’s too bad. Wish we could finally leave that pit.
To: McGruff
Personally, Id think its a mind game...conducted by the master gamer.
Lets see how Iraqis really feel about their country and if theyre willing to risk anything for it or expect us to protect them forever.
The cowardly opposition,mostly Sunnis, I would imagine, either didnt show up or voted present. Maybe this will make them think about the consequences.

Wow!
Forgotten all about that ‘journalistic ethics’ story.
I think it was a mistake and no big deal.
But others can think what they want of course.
