A Valuable Rewrite

Over at his diary blog, Tom provides a necassary rewrite of a Thomas Ricks WaPo article. In Tom's words:
Unfortunately, Ricks and [his research assistant] chose to use the interviews to cherry-pick quotations that supported a seriously flawed, opinionated, and out of date news story. So, with no humility whatsoever, I helped Mr. Ricks with a rewrite that more accurately reflects the content of the interviews and the latest information on the training effort in Iraq.

From the intro to his entry and from speaking with him yesterday I get the hint that this led to a lot of consternation in Leavenworth.
