Give the Medal Back George

The reality of Iraq demonstrates that fruits of your efforts have in fact made our country less secure. The damage to the credibility of the CIA is serious but can eventually be repaired. The U.S. soldiers who died or have been maimed in the streets of Fallujah and Baghdad cannot be fixed. The dead have passed into history. Many of the wounded will live the rest of their lives missing limbs, blinded, mentally disabled, and physically disfigured. I second Brent Budowsky's suggestion--if you have any shred of decency left you should dedicate the proceeds of your book to the veterans and their families who are paying the price for your failure to speak up when you could have made a difference. That would be the decent thing to do.
