O'Hanlon's Petraeus conflict of interest

On September 22, 2007, Fox News "aired American Commander: Gen. David Petraeus, a one-hour biographical account of the top commander in Iraq. The program, a narrative of Petraeus’s life from birth until his controversial Congressional testimony, featured stories from old neighbors to high school buddies to fellow military officials.

"One of the most prominent interviewees was Brookings Institution analyst Michael O'Hanlon. Fox highlighted the fact that O’Hanlon has enjoyed a 20-year personal relationship with the general, extending back to graduate school," Think Progress reported September 23, 2007.[3]
