Who Is May Hasan Lamotte?

Is the woman who appeared on Hardball to thank Casey Sheehan for being dead and tell Cindy Sheehan to stop opposing the President the wife of an employee of the United States of America? Has she ever been to Iraq? Was she sent to Crawford by the Bush administration or by the Republican Noise Machine?

It seems that she is married to Greg LaMotte, an employee of Voice of America. Voice of America may refer to him as a journalist, correspondent, or reporter, but U. S. law views him as a propagandist and it may not be legal for him to be "reporting" here. So, did he send his wife to Texas or did he go with her? If he went with her, is he on the payroll, on vacation, or taking days off without pay? Shouldn't MSNBC answer these questions? Was Chris Matthews duped by the administration or is MSNBC part of the aforementioned Noise Machine?
