Double Standard Posted by Patrick Barry

Why is everyone asking Ambassador Eikenberry about his cable being leaked, but not McChrystal about his strategy review getting leaked? Seriously, the leak of an entire military strategy review and its impact on the civilian strategy should be just as important to congress, if not more important, than the negative repercussions of the leak of fragments of a state department cable.

Hi,
The Eikenberry cables seem to me to be bigger news and they likely could be already influencing Obama.Its true that leak really hurts Eikenberry, as it greatly harms his relationship with both the Karzai government and the military.
