It's clear from the fact that NBC refuses to acknowledge McCaffrey's conflicts of interest that they are fully aware these conflicts are, in fact, a problem. Otherwise they would have notified their viewers about them in the first place and avoided this whole controversy. That they try to wrap McCaffrey in some sort of integrity force field due to the fact that he was wounded in action is pathetic. Benedict Arnold was also wounded -- twice (once at the walls of Quebec in the winter of 1775, and once at the Battle of Saratoga the following fall) -- but doggone it, he was still willing to sell out his country.
