If everything you say is true, and I'm not about to dispute it, why wouldn't you set it out for members of the public and the military? Why wouldn't you say “This was General Leslie's report in July 2011. We are now in November 2012. These are the things that we've acted on as recommendations from General Leslie. These are in the works, and these we're not going to do.”
What is the issue there? Why wouldn't there be some formal response, a tabling of a response to General Leslie?
