I'm reading two threads quickly so may have missed a pertinent post, but I don't think anyone is bashing CENTCOMM or General Brooks (who seems like a great guy)...I think more than anything there's a bit of perplexity over how the media played the story and then why the conference was so short. In "real time" the story breaking was kind of confusing and the short conference a bit of a surprise. But they must not be able to say any more than they did for any number of reasons.
You are correct, it is wonderful news!! And I for one greatly admire all that the folks at CENTCOMM are doing.

Is there a daily thread that regularly posts addresses for the President, Rummy, Gen. Vince, etc.?

The media played the story the way they did because CENTCOM woke them up at 2am to come in for a major story. You can't blame them for then treating it as a major story.

It may have been so short because some of the media blabbed before they were supposed to...Fox kept their word but AP and MSNBC were not content to wait.
