My sense is, that if this is true, (and I kinda wouldnt be too surprised....unfortunately), that the bipartisan security classification lid will remain heavy because of its severe potential to risk troop lives, and the whole screwed mission at unknown levels. I'm just hoping we handle it as well as possible, and we dont see more damning evidence through Islamic or international media first. Let Hersh bring it first. Sounds like Sanchez will roll.

This could also do the military as a whole a serious amount of harm.

What better way to hurt enlistment and morale than to turn the military into a bunch of homosexual pedophiles?

For what it's worth, I asked a friend of mine who served in the first Gulf War what he thought about this, and he looked very sad and said he wouldn't be surprised if it were discovered to be true...
