WASHINGTON - Gov. Rick Perry, vowing Friday to do more than merely "play defense" with the Pentagon over the fate of military installations in Texas, found himself on the defensive Friday about his 2006 re-election plans. Perry was in Washington this week, meeting with Defense Department officials on military base expansion and related issues.

But his visit managed to tweak Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, a Republican considering running against Perry in the 2006 gubernatorial primary. Hutchison had paid special attention in the Senate to the state's military bases, and Perry apparently neither told her he was coming nor invited her to join him in the meetings.
