Actually, RSRH spends a good deal of time analyzing Avraham's actions 
in a positive light. However, as I am sure you know, the reason for 
my posting this is because of his statement that all men are human 
and hence make mistakes.  Our gedolim books completely over look this 
or ignore it.

I am not saying that one has to focus on the shortcomings of great 
people. But at least acknowledge that they have some.
