(For those of you who don't recall, Sec. Robert S. McNamara ordered a study of the history of our involvement in Vietnam. It was withheld from the American public until Daniel Ellsberg gave a copy to the NY Times. Now known as "The Pentagon Papers," The Times began publishing excerpts and OUR government sought a restraining order. The case worked its way to the Supreme Court and the Court ruled in favor of the Times.)
Paul Kiel of TPM finds that Gen. Sanchez writes that Sec. Rumsfeld ordered a similar historical study of the Iraq Fiasco but it has been classified.
