OPEN GATES

I have been wondering about this:

On Iraq, Gates may not be following Bush's playbook

I have sensed a certain independence from Gates from the get-go.

He is nobody's fool. He has a reputation to keep. He was the principal author of the Iraq Study Group report.

This says that he keeps a well-thumbed copy on his desk.

You never know. It would not be the first time that a cabinet man or woman has undermined a president.

One can only hope.
