CNN, USAToday and the New York Post have all abandoned the actual story (flimsy trucks) for the much more important "the reporter wrote the question" story.
The Post's headline says Rumsfeld was "ambushed" and it contains this incredible Rummy quote that makes Chretién look like a striaght shooter;
"I don't know what the facts, are but somebody's certainly going to sit down with him and find out what he knows that they may not know, and make sure he knows what they know that he may not know, and that's a good thing."
I honestly don't get it. Can this pointless brouhaha be blamed on the media's fascination with itself or have Americans become this gullible? I mean come on people, snap out of it.
What is more important? An obscure journalism ethics question or an ill-equipped military currently fighting an effing war? People are dying for crying out loud! American soldiers are dying because of this! Wake up!
