Donald Rumsfeld just appeared live on "Andrea Mitchell Reports," presumably only to reconfirm for us how fortunate we are that W.'s vast array of criminal misfits is no longer in high office. Times may be bad, jobs scarce, the economy not quite up to par and tea-partying Jasons are lurking and slashing everywhere, but at least we can thank God that Rummy & Co. is gone.
Intelligence? He's barely heard of the word and is thoroughly unfamiliar with its wartime implications. I kid you not. Intelligence, you see, wasn't his department. That was someone else's job. Not Rummy's. In fact, he's pretty sure Colin Powell knew more about the intelligence racket than anyone else in that crazy, mixed-up world of a rootin'-tootin' administration, so if you've questions about intelligence, Andrea, go ask Colin.
Tyler Drumheller? -- the CIA's top man in European covert operations who warned the administration about "Curveball"'s ... uh ... questionable veracity and with whom even I'm familiar? I quote Rummy, from the interview: "Never heard of him."
You get the point. Nothing, nothing will ever dynamite Rummy and his fellow war criminals from their unshakable, Nuremberg defense of absolute ignorance. It's the only defense they've got.
