Military families are upset that Donald Rumsfeld has not personally signed letters of condolences to family members of soldiers killed in Iraq. -
"I wrote and approved the now more than 1,000 letters sent to family members and next of kin of each of the servicemen and women killed in military action," Rumsfeld said in a statement to the military newspaper, Stars and Stripes.
"While I have not individually signed each one, in the interest of ensuring expeditious contact with grieving family members, I have directed that in the future I sign each letter," the defence chief said, according to the Post.
Now, I can understand that some family members are griefing and lashing out, but I think their anger is misplaced. Glenn Reynolds thinks we should be blaming the guys doing the criticizing.
