"The questions surrounding the use of anthropologists in Afghanistan  
and Iraq – what we call Human Terrain Teams – highlight my point. The  
military seems to have been pitted against the Ivory Tower and vice  
versa – even though the range of opinions covers the spectrum, both  
within the military and academia."  Robert M. Gates
