What laws were broken?
Excellent article... despite Brian Williams' superficial coolness, I'd imagine that weasel is starting to get a bit nervous. With his credibility cracking like an eggshell, his viewship will decline. If his audience goes in the tank will he have to take a pay cut? The horror. I'm sure the Heritage Foundation, or the Federalist Society will hire him to do PR.
I have a question though. Exactly what laws may the Pentagon or the news media have broken here by employing conflicted analysts, presented as unbiased, independent sources? Is there an actual law against this? It seems it might be contrary to policy, but as we've seen over the last 8 years, policy is highly malleable to the ends the military-industrial war machine seeks.
It clearly seems to be a massive fraud put over on the American Taxpayer, but good luck getting Taxpayer Standing to challenge it anywhere in the U.S., after 8 years of a Bush-appointed judiciary. Maybe somewhere in the 9th Circuit.
I could see them sending Nino Scalia to personally slit the throat of any 9th Circuit Judge denying the gov'ts motion to dismiss.
