Rumsfeld Testimony Update: I Thought You Had It. No, I Thought You Had It!
Another rush transcript from our intern, this of John McCain's questioning of Rumsfeld and the generals:
McCain: Tillman. . . brave. . . authority. . . contractors. . . list?
Rumsfeld: Myers brought. . . chart. . . will explain. . .
Myers: We left it. . .
Rumsfeld: Oh my. Oh my. . .
Myers: Where?
McCain: In all due respect. . . you've got to answer. . .
Rumsfeld: Oh my.
McCain: Answer. . . question. . . straightforward. . . taken care of with one phone call. . . What is wrong with you?
Rumsfeld: Contractors. . . guards guard.
McCain: Guards. . . Geneva?
Rumsfeld: Geneva.
McCain: Thank you.
As with other rush transcripts, we can't say that it's verbatim. But, seriously: Someone left their chain of command chart in the car. That's what happens when you take eight SUVs to get somewhere.
