About Those Un-Armored Humvees: Powerline

Powerline is reporting that the Humvee story isn't what it first appeared to be. They also have a link to the DOD Briefing, suggesting that you read it in its entirety - I suggest the same.

Quoting Hindrocket at Powerline: The overall impression I get is that the Army is responding appropriately to the risks posed by improvised explosive devices, and there is basically no story here.

Didja hear that? There is no story.

Now tell that to the MSM, who are on a feeding frenzy and will put anything forward if it will put Defense Secretary Rumsfeld in a bad light.

The really shameful thing about this whole mess is the members of the GOP that are jumping on the bandwagon.

I am taking names.
