The magazine Rolling Stone is once again rocking the boat at the Pentagon. An article called "Another Runaway General: Army deploys Psy-Ops on U.S. Senators" has prompted General David Petraeus to order an investigation into the story. According to writer Michael Hastings (the same reporter whose article about General Stanley McChrystal got the general fired), there's all sorts of Manchurian Candidate-type stuff going on in Afghanistan:
Petraeus, the Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, has appointed an investigator to take a closer look at the "facts of issues" raised in the Rolling Stone article. According to a news release sent out by the Department of Defense:
The Rolling Stone article claims some big names were subjected to brainwashing - like John McCain, Al Franken, and Mike Mullen. Looking forward to reaction from those folks on their alleged psychological manipulation.
