Good point, great question. And perhaps that's another reason why I don't have the same anger toward him. Perhaps that's it, he wasn't this 'military general,' he was a 'minister of [dis]information.' He probably had no real allies with those who were generals.....you should read Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night. It deals with a character, hired by the CIA as a double agent, hired afterwards by the Nazis, to speak propaganda that was acutally 'code words' for the Allies. There's much more to it than that, of course. It's a great book. I often thought of that character when Baghdad Bob spoke.
