Fred Kaplan's take on Gates |

He seems to think he has pros and cons (unlike most of W's choices, which tend to be all wrong qualities and no pluses) and MIGHT be OK. http://www.slate.com/id/2153287/

1. Gates is tarred with Iran-Contra. See enclosed link. |

It doesn't appear that he's so inoffensive, as Kaplan says. http://www.fas.org/irp/offdocs/walsh/chap_16.htm

2. Thanks for the link; interesting |
|
that Walsh thought he knew more than he said, earlier than he said, but felt he could not prove it. Lucky like Rove ...
I am surprised Fred Kaplan was so (almost) hopeful. He often tears Bushies a new one on the war(s).
