Erm so earlier this month someone asked Gen. McChrystal to talk about some of the weird shit that people tell him to do, all the time, re: Afghanistan. He was like, "Oh getthis: Chaosistan," which basically involves letting Afghanistan just become a "Somalia-like haven of chaos that we simply manage from outside." And everyone laughed and laughed, because how tenuous does that sound? Rather tenuous, is the answer. Oh but anyway, turns out "Chaosistan" was an actual classified CIA document. Ha ha: "Somalia-like haven of chaos"—a regular Sy Hersh this McChrystal.  [Newsweek]
