A question and answer session has been hijacked by a newsman. Instead of reporting, this guy fabricates news.
Would have liked to hear Rumsfeld ask where these dumps are for garnering parts and what support for personal protection is needed while scavenging.
The rest sounds like Rather: while it's not true, it's nevertheless accurate.

It gets traction with the media because it fits the template. I'd be willing to bet that none of the soldiers at the conference had ever dug through a dump for armor, nor did they directly know anyone who has. I'll bet they've heard stories, but cannot put a face and name of someone they know into the story. If 77% of the Humvees are already armored, that leaves a very small % of soldiers who ever come into contact with a vehicle that isn't.
