Outstanding recall there Patriot! One of the finest examples of fugazzi known to modern political science... because we all know Don didn't want anybody asking about all that money. One can always appreciate the Question to the response better well after the fact when those pesky truths finally work their way to the surface...

Q: Could I follow up, Mr. Secretary, on what you just said, please? In regard to Iraq weapons of mass destruction and terrorists, is there any evidence to indicate that Iraq has attempted to or is willing to supply terrorists with weapons of mass destruction? Because there are reports that there is no evidence of a direct link between Baghdad and some of these terrorist organizations.

Rumsfeld: Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.

In his 2011 book, he mentions that he will be adding more documents to his archive. I wonder if they've seen much scrutiny in the last year or so, or if everyone has forgotten about them. www.rumsfeld.com
