I agree -- although some people, "cough cough," would like to turn this into an issue of direct defiance of President Bush, it isn't. I think that refusing to obey their orders has probably saved us a lot of hassle and that as long as they exhausted normal channels to get the security situation for the trucks changed they should be praised, and their superior(s) questioned.
