Unfortunately, strong elements in the White House, State Department and other agencies seem determined to ignore these realities. They are pressuring the president to direct Eikenberry and McChrystal to come to Washington to present a broad set of strategic concepts rather than specific requests ....They are pushing to prevent a fully integrated civil-military effort, and to avoid giving Eikenberry and McChrystal all the authority they need ...
This is the kind of crap Clark Clifford pulled when he was appointed Snake-in-the-Grass/DoD and began undercutting the Army and the war effort in Vietnam, to (literally) throw the war.
So let's name names. Who is "pushing"? The 'Rats want to criminalize policy differences -- fine. We can play that game. We can make lists of names, too.
The lefty 'Rats, the (Stalinist front) Lawyers Guild and Kunstler Foundation Reds, want to send Bush and Cheney to The Hague to face an international Communist show trial. Their allies are agitating to throw the war in Afghanistan. Fine, we'll let all these leftist 'Rats face a People's court and try them for their lives. Charge: Treason, as defined in Article III.

If the rats pull that crap, then I can see dispensing with those formalities. That's crossing the Rubicon.
