What I took out of the article is that lawyers and politicians are fighting the war from their desks. I didn’t read it as a partisan article.

I just finished reading it and (for the most part) I'd have to agree. There were a few gratuitous digs at the Bush Administration, but for the most part it was a tale of needless bureaucratic and legal interference in a military operation, risk aversion on the part of career military officers, inexperienced CIA station personnel, and a crippling over-regard for Muslim sensibilities.

I do agree with your remarks to the extent that there is way too much civilian micromanagement of military tactics and ROE’s in this so-called WOT.
