From Army Times Publications senior managing editor
Robert Hodierne's chat:
Alexandria, Va.: Reports from Army Times headquarters yesterday indicated that the newsroom was celebrating the Rumsfeld resignation in nothing short of a partisan manner. Was it the intent of the editorials to improve the administration of the war effort or to help Democrats in the elections?
Robert Hodierne: We had no intention of helping one party or the other. If we had waiting until after the election I suppose the Democrats would have accused us of pulling our punches to favor the Republicans. There was no newsroom celebration. Mostly there was amazement at the timing.
