The Pentagon’s inspector general has issued a report clearing retired U.S. Army General Stanley McChrystal of violating military policy standards. McChrystal was dismissed last year after Rolling Stone magazine published an article in which McChrystal and his aides made disparaging remarks about top Obama administration officials and exposed longstanding disagreements between civilian and military officials over the conduct of the war in Afghanistan. Rolling Stone is defending its reporting. In a statement, the magazine said, “The report by the Pentagon’s inspector general offers no credible source—or indeed, any named source—contradicting the facts as reported in our story, 'The Runaway General.'”
