Anita - I'm not defending the Major one bit, and there's an article in there that Yon doesn't really finish about the spin/lies that he alleges from Media Ops.
My complaint about Yon's blog was that it was pretty self-centred. He's not the story, but he seems to be in danger of thinking he should be. That's not good journalism.
I'm not entirely happy with the outing of the Major, either. Seems to be at the least a Persec issue, and he's not been offered the right of reply, either, which is where citizen journalism a la Yon is very different to the kind of thing you'd see from someone writing for a UK broadsheet. It seems that the Major may be ex-regular RM, now in the TA, which is far from being a REMF, too.
