Pitting wits against Rumsfeld

[aikido15]

Disgruntled American soldiers who challenged the defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, about a shortage of armoured vehicles when he was visiting a staging post in Kuwait were put up to it by an embedded reporter, it emerged yesterday.
In an email to colleagues at the Chattanooga Times Free Press which was forwarded to a popular media website, Lee Pitts boasted that he used two of his military escorts to circumvent a ban on journalists questioning Mr Rumsfeld.
The paper's military correspondent called it one of the best days of his career.

1. somehow we need to check on the soldier that was brave

enough to cause two days of constant CYA from the bunch in Washington. Does he have a wife and children, cause that is where they might hit him? This man shouldn't have to bare the brunt of the administration's wrath. Remember what they did to Joe Wilson.
