I like Glenn Greenwald, but he’s wrong about the journalism of Michael Hastings. We need to have an honest discussion about the belle of many anti-war activists’ ball. Rolling Stone, retract “Another Runaway General.”

Dear Rolling Stone, please do the right thing. Retract your allegations about Frontier Six. And fix what’s going wrong there.

CBS Chief Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan certainly did herself and her fellow war correspondent no favors with her inept defense of war zone ground rules, even as she may have been right about a few things. In defending the press corps, against charges they are too chummy with the military, Logan wounded them grievously with misaimed friendly fire. She unfortunately reinforced the worst stereotype of reporters who “embed” with senior military officers but are actually “in bed” with them.

The Rolling Stone reporter has speculated Gen. Stanley McChrystal exhibited “a sort of natural kind of recklessness.” I have another theory: Gen. McChrystal might have been under the misimpression Hastings would protect him, in return for the great access and candor.
