in the interview i heard, he seemed supportive of the whole thing.

and just to be sure, i read the transcript. draw your own conclusions from this quote:

I think the big message of putting out that volume of material will be if people have come to grasp, as I expect they will, that nowhere in that vast amount of material will they find a good reason for us to be in Afghanistan or for escalating or for spending another $30 billion come this Wednesday or for more. And that's what the Pentagon Papers showed with thousands of pages.

with all due respect, did i mishear (or misread?) something?
