Michael, just heard from our mutual acquaintance Barrett Brown that you've read a bunch of my books.  Thanks for that -- and more importantly, for being a real journalist.  If you don't mind my saying, you have balls and integrity to spare and I hope your history with Newsweek and your defense of the excellent McChrystal article have inspired newer journalists to follow your example.  They've certainly inspired me.

All the best,
Barry Eisler
