I think what we are seeing is that the military/Pentagon people are anticipating no longer being under gag orders. Those that have wanted to speak out, together with those who feel it is in their own best interest to, are going to file one by one to the public microphone, unless someone convenes an investigation and takes their testimony. For people like David Frakt, I think they are bearing witness. For Susan Crawford, it's part that and part distancing. At this point, my prediction is that if Barack Obama doesn't investigate, the investigation will go on without him, and he won't be on the right side of history until he gets on board. There's more than enough out there for Britain (for example) to proceed if we don't. More than enough for a Security Council resolution, too. PEBO would look awful vetoing one.
