Uproar Over Armored Vehicles or Just Uproar?

Seems the "Get Rumsfield" crowd might want to check their facts...oh never mind, they'll just make up something else...

Inside Politics - The Washington Times: Inside Politics - December 23, 2004: "The truth is trickling out on the true state of affairs concerning the armoring of U.S. vehicles in Iraq, the Media Research Center reports.
' 'It now appears that the premise of the question that caused an uproar around Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was, so to speak, off base,' [Fox New Channel's] Brit Hume noted Tuesday night in reminding viewers how two weeks ago National Guardsman 'Thomas Wilson said to Rumsfeld, quote, 'our vehicles are not armored, we do not have proper armament vehicles to carry with us north,' into Iraq.'
'But, Hume relayed, 'according to senior Army officers, about 800 of the 830 vehicles in Wilson's Army regiment, the 278th Calvary, had already been up-armored' at the time of his widely publicized question.
'Some Hearst newspapers reported that fact last week, and since then it has trickled up the media stream into NewsMax, The Washington Times and FNC, but not the other networks or major newspapers.' the MRC's Brent Baker writes at www.mediaresearch.org.
