Good for Tennessee journalist Tim Chavez for providing Americans with a more rounded portrait of Donald Rumsfeld.

The Defense Secretary probably gets too much credit when things go well in war, and too much blame when they don't. And he's a tough guy, who has stood down better critics than the media flirts (see, e.g., John McCain) who are currently attacking him. But fair's fair -- and it seems unjust for the press to continue to portray him as someone who's actively indifferent to the welfare of our soldiers. Nothing could be further from the truth.
