Chris,
Good catch for the Council - I saw this article this morning and linked from the SWJ Daily News Links . Very interesting and important - hope this is a trend and not too late. As dismal as the CPA may have performed there were a lot of good people who wanted to do the right thing - got caught up in BS bureaucracy, lack of a defined end-state and a Phase IV plan that was realistic, etc... and simply gave up after time. Many of the "best and brightest" who spoke up were PNG'd from government work. Maybe things are different now - maybe - let's hope. My personal favorite to bring back into the fold (dissented before the war began) is General Tony Zinni. Still, I am encouraged by the fact that General Dave Petraeus is taking over day to day operations in Iraq. Tough job - but he is the right man for it.
Dave
