Donald "Rummy" Rumsfeld

"There are things that we know. And then there are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we now know that we don't know. But there area also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know... That is, the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence... Simply because you do not have evidence that something exists does not mean that you have evidence that it doesn't exist."   Well, that clears things up for me.  - Rummy's speech to NATO ministers in Brussels in 2002

In the June 2003 issue of The Progressive, Molly Ivins reports Rumsfeld's reaction to concerns about the looting in Iraq. Now, remember, the Iraqi National Museum was looted after pleas to protect it were ignored by our government. A responsible person, and government would be concerned about this, according to Ivins. "Instead, Rumsfeld became defensive, and then sarcastic, trying to belittle to loss. 'My goodness,' he said, affecting astonishment, 'were there that many vases? Is it possible there were that many vases in the whole country?'" This is what one says about the loss of artifacts from 7000 years of civilization? This is the face of America Rumsfeld projects to the rest of the world?
