I agree with Joan Walsh's comments about the McClellan flap, except that where she writes "Personally, I'd prefer that former Republican functionaries change the world by telling the truth, however belatedly,. . .," I would change "Republican" to "political." Unfortunately, working for many kinds of organizations we can easily get sucked into the "bubble" of that organization and, in any case, there are many incentives to spin that organization's position and, unfortunately, many disincentives (like firing!) against being less than balanced and objective. As painful as it might be, the likes of McClellan and others do a great service by sharing their hindsight and perspectives with the public.
