You mean the same Bob Gates who described Hillary as "smart, idealistic but pragmatic, tough-minded, indefatigable, funny, a very valuable colleague, and a superb representative of the United States all over the world."
The same Bob Gates who had to clarify his characterization of Obama making nearly the exact same political statement because it was taken out of context?
The same Hillary who publicly opposed the surge because she thought the troops would be of more use in Afghanistan?
I for one have never seen a ghost writer sensationalize a story to give it some edge and make some headlines. Frankly I'm not sure it's even ever happened.
