Melvin A. Goodman, Truthout: " Michael Crowley of the New Republic is the latest journalist to give absolution to Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates for his long record of politicizing intelligence and undercutting conciliatory policy initiatives. In the current issue of the magazine, Crowley refers to Gates as 'one of Washington's most revered figures' and credits him with the completion of a 'years-long rehabilitation of his once-controversial image.' This is a good time to review that 'controversial image' and to consider whether and how much Mr. Gates has really changed."
