Of many things I cannot be sure.But of a few I can.One of them is that truth on this matter won't be heard straightforward.It will take time and only due some circumstantial evidences.
The second is that a staff of that caliber doesn't make childish mistakes with the press.Also I wouldn't accuse to quickly McChrystal's team of being disloyal to the boss.They were handpicked veterans of the last decade.
The third is that if David Killculen is right this is only a confirmation of what the RS article already said.There is a serious rift between those on the ground(guys I would trust to know where the war is going) and the politicians back home.And I doubt the fault lies with those on the ground.How Petraeus can solve this(if he can solve it) remains to be seen.
