I hope these great journalists never to get tied to any news organization in anything but a personal services contract that spells out their independence. The quality of their work would be far less if tied to the MSM editors and agendas. BTW; I cannot say this strongly enough: <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Moment-Truth-Iraq-Greatest-Generation/dp/0980076323/ref=pd_nr_b_41?ie=UTF8&s=books" rel="nofollow">BUY YON'S BOOK</a>!</strong> Mopefully, the other two Wise Men are also working one books, so I can buy them as well. ikez, they probably did and were turned down.
