When his guys on the ground had this convoy sighted, Franks deferred to a CENTCOM legal advisor on whether to order the attack- as a former CENTCOM planner, I remember reading about it at the time and remembering it
Since it could not be GUARANTEED that no civilians in the convoy would be killed, Franks called off the strike and they did not attack
Probably the fine history-changing work of some brain dead 0-6 military lawyer (and/or the POLAD) who shall remain nameless, since this whole issue now is supposed to be about trashing Rumsfeld (and Bush and Cheney)
