As you know, censorship is highly frowned on by educational
institutions. Please don't assign to the Army the values of every
author who has been published by the Army War College.
See the following "pixel"
this professor's opinion.

Professors are allowed to hold and publish opinions.
Here is a quote taken from the essay which didn't make it into the
Washington Post:
"The Bush Doctrine rightly focuses on the principle of regime change
as the most effective means of defeating threats posed by rogue and
terrorist-hosting weak states..."
This 'new' report (actually an essay) was published in the Spring,
2003, edition of "Parameters". This is the professional journal of the
Army War College. The objective of the publication is shown below:
************************************
Parameters is a refereed journal of ideas and issues, providing a
forum for mature thought on the art and science of land warfare, joint
and combined matters, national and international security affairs,
military strategy, military leadership and management, military
history, military ethics, and other topics of significant and current
interest to the US Army and the Department of Defense. It serves as a
vehicle for continuing the education and professional development of
USAWC graduates and other senior military officers, as well as members
of government and academia concerned with national security affairs.
************************************
Note that it is a vehicle for continuing education and professional
development. Thus it is hardly a place to censor material to ensure
only one side of a story is told.
