I will phrase as a question, because the open source info is minimal and many here especially will know things that I do not.

But is there not any concern about McChrystal's time with Task Force 6-26 and the purported detainee abuse issues at Camp Nama? Nor the "computer malfunction" that destroyed their detainee data?

SWJ and its "rogue cousins" spend a lot of time talking about perception vs. reality, public diplomacy, and the like. If McChrystal has some ties to this sordid history, is that not a detriment to us?

I feel like we have enough problems with the rumor mill in that part of the world without feeding it by appointing as commander of U.S. forces a man who has some questions to answer about his past.

Just a few thoughts I wouldn't mind seeing bandied about.

David, hope all is well. Long time no contact, my bad.

Regards,

Matt
