Ditto for one of my heroes, Rachel Maddow:

McCaffrey on, no disclaimers, talks about Iraq, and the how bad Afghanistan is getting. Subtext - We need more troops and stuff there! Psssst...I know some guys who can hook the troops up with some killer gear!

NBC, Gen.McCaffrey and Hypocrisy

"Maddow Watch

Hate to say this, because I am a fan of hers, but this is a big test for Rachel Maddow. Were this any other organization but NBC, this would be right in her wheelhouse. If she stays silent about this, it will be very disappointing.

If she has already addressed it and I just missed it, then my apologies to her.

-- GlennNYC"

Why should she? She cannot bite the hand that feeds her. This is not the Clintons who have always been mince meat for all these hypocrites. Remember the way they fed on Clinton and the so-called his conflict of interest with governments who are contributing huge amount of money for his Charitable foundation doing all it can to stop the twin killers, aids and malaria in Africa? He can no longer seek the aid of governments because his wife is the next SoS and that will be conflict of interest. NBC and NYT have been all over it but not the conflict of interest regarding Gen.McCaffrey ,the news media and his companies profiting from his influence. Who cares about poor africans and others in developing countries?
