Pat Lang wants to know why Bill Kristol was invited to a private meeting at Ft. Hood with Gen. Odierno, who is about to take over for Gen. Petraeus in Iraq:

Why was Kristol invited by the Defense department to Ft. Hood, Texas to talk to Odierno? Who were the other member of the "small group" who were invited? Why does Odierno want to talk to such a group privately? Is Odierno involved in information operations in the United States?I am surprised that Secretary Gates would countenance such shenanigans.

More right here.
