Rumsfeld said Kernan, chief of the Joint Forces Command, was out of line for telling a House panel two weeks ago that the troops were tired because "we are busier than we have ever been."

. . .

Natter came under fire for saying the Navy had run short of joint direct attack munitions, or J-DAMs, and had to borrow some of the satellite-guided bombs from the Air Force.

"We damn near ran out in Afghanistan," Natter said three weeks ago.

The way I read this, it seems that it was before Congress in open session and the other guy spoke out loud also it seems. That is the way I read it.

It doesn't say open session. Unfortunately it just says House Panel, which could be open or closed. There is not enough information in this article to decide .

Anyway, like I said before, Rumsfield seems upset not so much that they said it, as upset at what they said. He disagrees that the Navy almost ran out of bombs and that the troops are tired.
