TIME – Logic of the Leak
Leslie Gelb discusses the motives behind the White House leaking particular details of a top secret war strategy session with the current major players in the ongoing Iraq/Afghanistan conflict to the press in this week’s issue of TIME. He suggests that while it’s a bit of a nasty move, it’s nevertheless an effective one as it grants the White House some additional leverage in forcing the army to follow through with the timetable that was established verbally in that same meeting.
Based on the article, my personal presumption is that Leslie Gelb doesn’t suck at Chess.

Reel tapeheads join the army.
Ha! Well played. Sometimes they’re deferred for good reason.
