Despite the limitations, General Myers was unwavering in his assessment that American forces would win any major combat operation. The armed forces, he concluded, are "fully capable" of meeting all Washington's military objectives.

No....he demanded anonymity becuase what he did was illegal - and the Times helped him with the crime.
