Josh Marshall will be on CNN's Aaron Brown tonight (7pm), talking about phony letters to the editor.

Also, Marshall has some input on the letters (see below).

Finally, blogger Hesiod deserves credit for getting this ball rolling and taking a principled position on the matter.

It's not quite so egregious as I originally thought. Most of the soldiers agree with the sentiment, if not the specifics in the letter. But, I also agree with Sgt. Grueser. It diminishes the integrity of the letter considerably the way it was distributed. I wonder who that "military public affairs officer" is?
