MM, I am just not going to get into this discussion with you. Hodja got it right when he spoke about why some things would never see the light of day. And the fact that the commission was bipartisan doesn't make a bit of difference when it comes to national security and intelligence sources.
So you can continue to call me names and be sarcastic with me, but it's not going to change anything. And I can assure you that the DoD is much different than any other government department - it's mission makes it very unique, the attitude is different than other govenrment deparments and people are very cognizant what is at stake. I haven't worked with the EPA, but I'm pretty sure that no one there thinks someone might die if they don't do their job. I've worked extensively with Commerce and State, and the intelligence agencies and I can tell you that in my limited knowledge, it is much, much different. And another thing - people will talk and debate about decisions, but once a final decision is made, you fall in. It's the military way and it's another part of the very unique culture.
