"I don't have any comment on it."

Really, Thomas P.M. Barnett? Because the consensus over here at Abu Muqawama is that if one of us had written a piece in Esquire that had helped end a good man's career, we might have at least something to say in either defense of ourselves or of Admiral Fallon. But maybe we're just old-fashioned or crazy or something.

Update: An alert reader points out that Barnett has responded to questions from his own readers in this post.
