The guy was reading the question from a piece of paper.
The reporter sent a memo to his bosses bragging about setting it up.
But facts don't matter when you want to slam those in uniform, or just a convient target like Rumsfeld.

I don't think you can point out any slams I made on those in uniform or on Rumsfeld on this issue. But it may be that like many freepers, you will view solid disagreement of the 'party line' as a slam or as bashing. I cannot help your perceptions and inferences.
But I think that if you want to accuse me of slamming the troops you might want to consider where you are and where I am. My job is to support the troops. I don't just talk about it and fly a ribbon on my car or sport a bumpersticker.
My FRiend, I have something at stake in this arguement.
After you've made the drive through Baghdad without armor I might have more regard for your opinion.
