    No. The piece is slanted and that’s immediately obvious to anyone who watched the hearing.

    Grusch said multiple times that he was ready and willing to share more detailed information in a SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) and said he could provide a specific and detailed list of names of departments as well as individuals who have firsthand knowledge, indicating who would be hostile and who would be receptive to the inquiry.

    The fact that some organizations choose to omit key details only means they’re hostile to the subject matter. CBS News did something similar and led with the anchor and correspondent’s smug and thinly-veiled opinions masquerading as credible reporting.

    If a senior person in the Pentagon, supported by multiple senior (sometimes very senior) people, is saying under penalty of perjury that there needs to be an investigation into allocation of funds and obstruction of congressional oversight, and he’s willing to name names in a way that preserves confidentiality, it seems like that’s worth reporting on.

      I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with or saying the piece left out here. Yes as I just said Grusch claimed to have details, but so far we don’t have any evidence of that besides his word. Certainly worth looking into, with the rubber hitting the road in this SCIF sessions in terms of whether he has anything real.
