A cry in the wilderness

The question asked of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld by a Tennessee National Guardsman over the up-armored Humvee refit issue was quickly exposed as another instance of “gotcha” journalism after it was revealed that a hometown reporter had coached the Soldier who had asked the question. Not only was the entire exchange a set-up, but thanks to Newsmax.com, as relayed by the Washington Times, the reporter and Spc. Thomas “Jerry” Wilson were apparently unaware that,

“…the Pentagon had already up-armored 97 percent of the vehicles in Thomas' 278th Regimental Combat Team, senior members of the Army's combat systems development and acquisition team said Thursday.

"Further undermining the premise of Pitts' question, orders to up-armor the last 20 of the 278th's 830 vehicles were already in the pipeline when he engineered the bogus inquiry," NewsMax said.

It isn’t surprising that the legacy media is continuing the information warfare (IW) operation to undermine our efforts in Iraq in the wake of their latest electoral defeat. However, harsh commentary in some outlets of the conservative press and the severe criticism Rumsfeld received from a few Republican Senators was astonishing to say the least.

Rumsfeld and this stupid imbroglio from embedded deceptors. It's all gotta stop somewhere. This is a fine analysis.

Is Rumsfeld going to be the fall guy for the neocons? I find that William Kristol, chief neo-con, is asking for his head on a plate!
