Damn well not on McNBC or other McCorp newsfotainment..

Just heard her being interviewed. Spoke clearly and sanely, pretty much reiterating the points already thrashed out here.

Said she is a Christian, referred to the religious aspect of the matter. Either she or reporter mentioned that, even the Saudis do not require vistors to wear bags: it is purely an artifice of the US military. Mentioned 5 senators hassling defense folks over the matter. She has received letters from peers, also above and below.. most supportive - and a few quite not.

Obviously well aware of 'good manners', when in Rome yada yada. But (in her words) "this undermines my authority , ability to lead - and is humiliating". (ie riding around in the back of a jeep covered in a sack..).

May she live long and prosper, and some generals get asses kicked (while wearing an abeya for the punishment). The cowards.
