The closuredisclosures. there s a filing from the washington post today from freedom of information act on how much army commanders objected to some of the things the state department was doing in not evacuating sooner to the closing of bagram base too soon. what should the senate, your oversight committees do to make sure this kind of messy evacuation doesn t happen again? well, i think the first thing is to learn whatever lessons there are to be learned. i m a little surprised about the bagram comment because i talked to senior military leaders at that time and i had said why are we closing bagram and they made a strong case from the military point of view that it should be closed, that it would be very difficult to defend. but one of the pieces that passed in the national defense act this year was a nonpartisan, outside the government study of the entire process in ....
