Who is Gen. Michael Nagata, the Man Tapped by Obama to Train the Syrian Rebels?

Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill talks about Gen. Michael Nagata, a longtime special operations operative. While stationed in Pakistan, Nagata wrote a classified briefing attacking the reporting of Scahill and Seymour Hersh after they published separate articles exposing secret U.S. military operations inside Pakistan. Documents later leaked by Chelsea Manning backed up the findings in Scahill and Hersh's reports. Nagata's report was never publicly released, but Scahill says he learned about it from a member of Congress.
