You mean like whatsisname, the Army general who advised more troops before the invasion and got booted out, and Colin Powell? It's not just evidence; it's historic fact, I'm afraid.
I'm not sure if Dr. Brin is being hyperbolic or not when indicating that he's heard from others that there's a bit of a purge going on in the DoD. But I do know that Other Posters on this list have asserted claims and then, asked for cites, said they couldn't reveal their sources. This behavior seems to havve been accepted from them. Is it possible we've got a mirror of that here?
