This CDAN post from 11/3 appears to implicate McChrystal (or his team) in Hastings death using an IED....

"Today's Blind Items - Revenge

After many years, there has been a breakthrough in the death of this reporter who was digging into an online tabloid's giving positive coverage to celebrities for pay. His death wasn't related to that, but three military guys who had been fired in the wake of a story the reporter had written a few years earlier. They followed him and harassed him and then ultimately planted an IED that his car ran over and blew up. One of the three guys told a woman he was going to marry, the story. When she heard it, she split with him and she shared it with reporters who have been digging into it the past two months."

Right, they're going to hope a panicked Hastings took a route than ran over their planted IED. What happens if someone else happened to drive over it first? Maybe it was a remote detonated IED that they were going to dig up the next day if Hastings took a different route? If there was a bomb (sure seems like it), it was planted inside the vehicle.
