Rolling Stone Writer - DENIED Embed

Remember that writer, Michael Hastings? You know, the guy that wrote that article in Rolling Stone that eventually ended the career of Gen. Stanley McChrystal? Well, he has now been denied permission to join the troops in Afghanistan- embed. 

"There is no right to embed," Lapan said. "It is a choice made between units and individual reporters, and a key element of an embed is having trust that the individuals are going to abide by the ground rules. So in that instance the command in Afghanistan decided there wasn't the trust requisite and denied this request."

Well, what comes around goes around, I suppose. If you want to write all of those things, you certainly have a right to do so but, don't complain when there are consequences. I'm glad to hear this. I hope he never is allowed to do a story about our military again.

Hastings did not immediately reply to requests for comment Tuesday. He has said he did nothing wrong in chronicling the banter, profanity and jocular insults among McChrystal's inner circle. In Twitter tweet late Tuesday, Hastings said he refused to participate in the army's IG investigation. Later, he tweeted: "the embed had already been approved for september. now it has been disapproved."
