Army Ranger's widow expelled from Rumsfeld book signing

[rsmith6621]

TACOMA, Wash. - Two people were removed from a Donald Rumsfeld book signing at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, including the Yelm widow of an Army Ranger who blames the military for her husband's suicide.

Ashley Joppa-Hagemann said on Saturday that security officers for the former secretary of defense escorted her out by the arm.

She and the executive director of a Lakewood-based anti-war group confronted Rumsfeld as he promoted his memoir, "Known and Unknown."

She had introduced herself to Rumsfeld by handing a copy of her husband's funeral program to the former defense secretary.

7. I want to know why he was allowed to use a military base

for his book signing
it sounds like he should be charged for the use of the space
and any writer should be allowed to use it
