Consider this pseudo-controversy ended. Now that Defense Secretary Bob Gates has joined in with national security adviser Jim Jones to remind Gen. Stanley McChrystal of the virtues of restraining public advice ahead of the Afghanistan strategy review, the McChrystal camp endorses the message.
From Lt. Col Tadd Sholtis, McChrystal’s spokesman in Kabul: “General McChrystal concurs with the Secretary and shares his perspective that the President’s military and civilian policy advisers need to provide candid but private advice.”

“What has Spencer Ackerman scrambling to cover for the general the last few days?”
Oh, I don't know, an earnest desire for the truth? The MSM has missed the boat and/or is deliberately sensationalizing the story so that it can sell newspapers. They don't want to accept the fact that this is merely a case where a senior general officer stuck a foot in his mouth – once – and has no intention of being a rogue officer running against the CinC.
