Hey Hanson, great interview! Thanks also for bringing up his Twitter conduct. I've always been disappointed at the times he's punched down at other reporters (his shots at GI reporter Liana Ruppert comes to mind especially), and think it does him and his reporting a disservice. Thanks for all you do!
