I've been in Q and A sessions with ADM Mullen, and he is very candid in these sessions, and if he can't answer your question there, he will take your email address and get back with you personally as soon as he has the answer.

One timely topic (given the recent DoD directive and the pending QDR work) is on Irregular Warfare.

Perhaps: "The recent Directive describes IW as a form of war, which is widely rejected throughout the interagency community and by our key partner allies. Do you really believe that we are in an era of perpetual irregular warfare, or is what we are trying to describe with this concept really an irregular environment in which all types of war and peace will occur?"
