Retired Admiral William McRaven Issued Stunning Rebuke of Donald Trump

Washington: Retired Admiral William McRaven, the man who oversaw the 2011 raid in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden, issued a stunning rebuke of President Donald Trump’s decision to revoke former CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance, defending the former spy chief as “one of the finest public servants”. In an op-ed published by the Washington Post on Thursday, McRaven, a former Navy SEAL who led US Joint Special Operations Command from 2011 to 2014, not only called Brennan “a man of unparalleled integrity”, but volunteered to have his own security clearance revoked in an act of solidarity. “Few Americans have done more to protect this country than John. He is a man of unparalleled integrity, whose honesty and character have never been in question, except by those who don’t know him,” McRaven wrote. (IANS)
