Morning Reading. Rolling Stone got its paws on a draft copy of LTC Davis’s much talked about report, “Dereliction of Duty II: Senior Military Leaders’ Loss of Integrity Wounds Afghan War Effort.” Davis recently published an Armed Forces Journal article decrying the Pentagon’s rosy and deceptive portrait of supposed progress in Afghanistan. A full report was promised, which he has submitted for internal review, but according to military officials the Pentagon is refusing to release it.  Rolling Stone has now published in full the unclassified version of the report that is currently circulating among US government officials. In it Davis opens with: Senior ranking US military leaders have so distorted the truth when communicating with the US Congress and American people in regards to conditions on the ground in Afghanistan that the truth has become unrecognizable.
