GDP is now the refuge of policy scoundrels

THE unvarnished truth about the Mamasapano tragedy is this. The 44 gallant SAF men were led to the slaughter. Led to the lion’s lair, as Digong Duterte had put it. Led to the slaughter by a clueless commander-in-chief, as Senator Juan Ponce Enrile had put it. If there was a leadership nuance to the whole tragic affair, it was clueless leadership. At the very top. And not with the middle actors.

How Gen. Napenas became power point’s fall guy and villain in that whole bloody affair despite his pained rendering of what really happened -- and Mr. Aquino has been assigned as the guy without fault – is beyond us.
