Military concerns
Soldiers for the Truth, website from ret. Army Col. David Hackworth, is reporting on the question of why Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld couldn't sign condolence letters to families of lost American soldiers. There's also a section on the lack of armor on military vehicles in Iraq.
One article on the site also gets into the discussion of whether Chattanooga Times Free Press reporter Lee Pitts should have coached a soldier on his question to Secretary Rumsfeld on the armor. (Pitts' stories are available without registering on the Times' Website.)
