In Defense of Secretary Rumsfeld
To them, Secretary Rumsfeld is an exasperating paradox, a man who they think craves more power, yet just this week recommended against the Pentagon taking charge of CIA paramilitary operations. He's a fossil out of step with modernity, but he advocates a futuristic, leaner military machine. He's an ogre who delights in placing our troops in harm's way, yet he resists the quarterbacks' calls for more troops in Iraq. This guy just drives them crazy.
