The top U.S. general in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, apologized Tuesday for a Rolling Stone article that portrays him and his staff as flippant and dismissive of top Obama administration officials involved in Afghanistan policy.

The magazine hits newsstands Friday. The Washington Post received an advance copy from the profile's author, Michael Hastings, a freelance journalist who has written for the Post.
