a reporter was behind the Rumsfeld stumper

I have become an avid reader of Keith Olbermann's blog. I watched "Countdown" for the first time on Monday and the busy graphics just about drove me crazy, but I like his style and dedication to stories. I just found this post where he reports that a reporter came up with the question on armed vehicles (and their lack of protection):

In an e-mail to an unidentified colleague at the newspaper, Edward Lee Pitts — traveling with a Tennessee National Guard Unit — said that when a scheduling delay permitted him to attend Rumsfeld’s visit with 2,300 troops, he learned that only soldiers could quiz the Secretary. “So,” Pitts writes, “I brought two of them along with me as my escorts. Before hand we worked on questions to ask Rumsfeld about the appalling lack of armor their vehicles going into combat have.”

The rest of the entry is recommended reading.
