The saga of this general reminds me of Othello on one hand and Don Quixote on the other.
There is something very important that humanity has lost over time- Aristotle's 'Deus ex machina'- or rather, the hope, belief, and practice of healing.
For was it totally un-anticipated that a biographer would escape the 'transferance' trap when the subject is among the high and mighty?
There was some attempt to heal in Bill Clinton's case. Why didn't we have the same effort now?
Maybe the C.I.A is so much of a monster that it cannot survive in light. But what does it mean to have democracy founded on such premises?
Isn't it evident that Obama is head of very weak government that can only destroy but not heal?
As for the education of David, well, it was so mis-education! This is the Quixotic part.

Tycho where did you go to school and what did you study?  "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Patreus was simply the fall guy for the 9/11 libya debacle. the fact that passengers disembarked at an undesignated airport is just diversionary. Even Lewinskys co wife is leaving under other pretexts but bottom line is 'they are stepping aside' kenyan style I may be wrong..but then I could be right

Maybe better, for it is now easy to identify the wolf in sheep skin.
