Outstanding, Craig Whitlock and the rest of the Washington Post team, for finally bringing this travesty to the forefront. The book - <em>The New Ministry of Truth: Combat Advisors in Afghanistan and America's Great Betrayal</em> - broke this story when published last May, but major news outlets refused to cover it due to its controversial nature. This reporting has shattered this suppression.
Bottom line, we've been lied to about Afghanistan for years. Hopefully Mr. Whitlock's phenomenal work forces our elected officials to finally have an open and frank debate about the overarching purpose of our military operations.
