Howdy, Mike-

Michael Hastings, who wrote the McChrystal story for Rolling Stone and who is still in Afghanistan (he's only been there for two months, incidentally, though already seems to have changed the course of the war), happens to be a friend of mine, as well as a participant in Project PM (alluded to in the Charles Johnson piece I did for you); he also blurbed my upcoming book. I last heard from him a week ago, will try to call him on his cell a bit later. Would you be interested in a piece on the background to this incident, touching on the failures of the media at large to do what he's managed to do in terms of brining focus to the realities of Afghanistan? Let me know.
