AN A.P. HATCHET JOB ON RUMSFELD? The QandO blog does a side by side comparison of the speech and the AP story. Shockingly, the two are a less-than-perfect match. “I’m not sure why I felt compelled to compare the speech with the story, but for some reason the story just didn’t sound right.

Wonder? No.
