Michael Hastings, R.I.P.

Michael Hastings, a great young journalist whose reporting from Afghanistan for Rolling Stone ended the active career of Gen. Stanley McChrystal and whose excelllent book The Operators: The Wild and Terrifying Inside Story of America's War in Afghanistan limned in vivid detail the futility and madness of our Afghanistan intervention, died today in a car crash in Los Angeles at age 33, according to a report from BuzzFeed.

I interviewed Hastings in Reason's June 2012 issue. He and his future reporting will be missed.

Pardon while I fetch my tinfoil cap.

It is tempting isn't it. Just to be diligent, we should monitor the crash investigation outcome.

[Generic Stranger]

Heh. I had the same reaction.

"Died in a car crash, eh? Riiight...)

[Clich? Bandit]

We need more good reporters not less.

This is a bummer.

Condolences to his family.
