Um, no, not at all. He was reading from prepared remarks....he was very good at answering the questions, but none of the assembled reporters asked the question--or at least the parts of the Q & A I saw on the tube over the lunch hour.
And I do remember Richard Butler saying to Ritter on Donahue last week something about Ritter's lovely wife & their contributions--and I was puzzled, because I didn't think Ritter's wife worked for the inspections team.
I haven't had time to read the thread on the Wolfowitz remarks,yet, but while I was away I was mulling this over. That if the implication of his words is so obvious to us, I would hope that some reporters would see if these dots are connected. It is beyond depressing to think that this wasn't the deep dark secret as the police chief said and that major media types just *may* have known about this. Now practically a neon sign is flashing as Wolfowitz made his prepared remarks, as you point out, and he is certainly aware of the Ritter story.
