Caldwell’s accuser FOS?

Like I said the other day, it’s beginning to look more like the Rolling Stone Magazine was taken for a clown car ride…more accurately, Michael Hastings was taken for a ride by Texas National Guardsman LTC Michael Holmes. Sources in the Army and apparently in a position to know, tell the Wall Street Journal that Holmes wasn’t trained in psychological operations.

The U.S. Army’s Special Operations Command announced Friday that their special warfare center has no record of training Lt. Col. Michael Holmes in “psychological operations.”

In an interview, Lt. Col. Holmes said he received training in information operations and how to use the psychological operation techniques but never claimed to have been trained as a psy-ops officer.

And the politicians involved told Fox News that they didn’t feel brainwashed;

U.S. lawmakers have played down these alleged operations, suggesting they were not influenced to do anything they didn’t already want to do.

Like Blackfive said, Holmes has been sitting at home since September stewing in his own juices, and now, nearly six months later, it’s worthy of a Rolling Stones article and an investigation. It sounded ridiculous to me when I first read Hastings’ article and I still think that the only operation going on here is one to discredit Hastings and apparently Hastings is more than willing to cooperate.
