  "account": "The interview with Colorado Democratic Congressman Jason Crow aired on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan on September 6, 2026. CBS reported that several high-ranking United States military officials had undergone polygraph tests as part of a leak investigation ordered by Secretary Hegseth. The investigation focused on identifying the source of highly classified information about the United States' stockpiles of sophisticated weapons. Crow, a senior member of the Armed Services Committee and the Intelligence Committee, had not been briefed on the outcome of these tests but supported efforts to prevent leaks and protect classified information. However, he criticized the broader context, noting that Secretary Hegseth had purged over 80 generals and admirals, lowered the number of women on the promotion list, created an environment of fear, and pushed out journalists and media. These actions, according to Crow, were part of an effort to instill fear and restrict information from the Pentagon. He also highlighted the issue of munitions shortages, stating that the government did not want Congress or the public to know the extent of the problem. The lack of a long-term plan for withdrawal from the Middle East, coupled with the continuous deployment of 50,000 troops since 2001, was another point of concern for Crow. He advocated for the reduction of U.S. forces in the region, emphasizing that the previous administration had campaigned on this issue and that the current conflict, initiated by the current administration, had cost the country $3 to $5 trillion, resulted in thousands of American lives lost, and affected hundreds of thousands of lives forever.",
