I think the problem is definitional
A "war critic" isn't to the mainstream press someone who believes we shouldn't have gone to war, but is critical of how it has been fought. If a journalist is talking about strategies to win, perhaps a peace activist with little knowledge of counter-insurgency tactics isn't your best person to sit on you panel.
However, if the issue is whether we should have gone to war, stacking the deck with four people who all supported the war is indeed biased.
