from today’s Top Stories – AP “Rumsfeld Makes Surprise Visit to Iraq “
Rumsfeld was accompanied by Myers and several lawyers on a trip designed to reassure U.S. troops that the prisoner abuse scandal has not weakened public support for their mission and to get firsthand reports from the most senior commanders. Neither hid his feelings about the tough questioning he endured from members of Congress over the prison abuses.
“I’m really glad to be here,” Myers enthused.
Before taking questions from soldiers, Rumsfeld said, “It’s generally a lot more fun here than it is back home.”
I wonder if the soldiers think it is more fun in Iraq.
