My generation got to know him as one of three CNN reporters coming live from their Baghdad hotel room during the start of the first Gulf War. It was a new kind of war, carried live on air and he was one of the voices that brought it to us.
RIP

Remember when Presidents did national speeches for emergencies or times where a nation needs to hear from their leader?

I still can't believe they're trying to make a war happen out of thin air. Not just their abrogation of Congress's role in formally declaring a war -- that's been a slippery slope for decades -- but their total unwillingness even to go through the motions of drumming up public support.

If Hegseth's "declassification in my mind" legal theory held water, then all of their complaints about Hillary's e-mail server were for show. Like Hegseth, Hillary was an OCA at the time she sent and received those e-mails. Under Hegseth's legal theory, Hillary had the power to "declassify" them

Hegseth jeopardized classified information. Full stop.
