Given that Galadriel called them all together, and her special gifts, it would seem that she might have had a greater say it its leadership. But I suppose being all about the enemy and Saruman’s specialty, he was the natural choice on two counts.
I was also curious whether mention was ever made of Celeborn’s having been included.
Apologies for side tracking a little with this train of thought, I have been enjoying the dialog even if I feel a bit like I'm a child sitting at the feet of the learned. So many interesting and creative ideas to ponder!
