Yale University continues its modern tradition of hiring war criminals to instruct young minds in the ways of the world.
First, it was Tony Blair, brought over to pontificate at Yale Divinity School — and now Stanley McChrystal, chief honcho of death squads and "strenuous interrogation" in Iraq and later failed leader of the "Obama Surge" in Afghanistan, has been hired by the august institution to ”examine how dramatic changes in globalization have increased the complexity of modern leadership," the NY Times reports.
Yes, modern leadership is a complex business, all right, but the wisdom McChrystal has to offer can probably be boiled down to this essential nugget: "Kill all the ragheads you want, all over the world — but for god’s sake don’t make disparaging remarks about the president to a music magazine!" No doubt our future modern leaders will take that lesson to heart.
