“When Michael spoke to an annual gathering of military reporters in November 2010, he got few congratulations for writing unquestionably the most consequential piece of war reporting that year, and a lot of hostility instead. Michael could give it right back. His journalist critics were hopelessly compromised Washington pseudo-reporters, he railed, slavishly devoted to the access he considered himself to scorn. It was in this manner that Michael and his critics would forever talk past each other.  But Michael didn’t start it; they started it. And Michael had thick skin for someone so relentlessly vilified as arrogant.”
