You Know Those "Military Analysts" on CNN?

They're just reading talking points given to them by the Pentagon. From the Nytimes cover story:

Even analysts with no defense industry ties, and no fondness for the administration, were reluctant to be critical of military leaders, many of whom were friends. "It is very hard for me to criticize the United States Army," said William L. Nash, a retired Army general and ABC analyst. "It is my life."


Okay, okay, so we already sorta knew this, right? It's a pretty good investigative piece, though.
