No one is saying they are not comprehensive, what they have is a bias. They believe we spend too much on defense, and that the US does not have any enemies (except those we make with our mistaken policies). These "scientists" have expertise in their fields, but they publish something and it gets used to make a dis-armament arguement. It is muchlike bonefied scientists reporting on the environment only to have a "leftist" take the data and show that the sky is falling or the earth is warming and its all our fault.
Beware that these scientists may not have the latest classified data and that the programs that they think may not work may in fact be showing better performanc than they realize.
No one is saying they are not comprehensive, what they have is a bias. And this is the point. Pike's free to say what he will, but if he has have nothing to hide, why not be upfront about himself and his agenda?
I'd like the media to give their readers and viewers the credentials of their "experts" so we could weigh what they're saying and decide why they're saying it.
