well, that kind of proves my point? obviously he was an important figure in the way, and played a part in keeping mcclellan from moving forward given his "accurate" reports...

but we're discussing generals and their abilities. if we have pinkerton, shoot, don't we need clara barton as well? or is it florence nightengale? i get em mixed up. maybe we need both? :)
