Believe it or not, I actually somewhat agree with ya here, John. I bet Rumsfeld honestly /didn't/ recall using that phrase. What bothers me more is, Rummy, baby, two words for the next time people endlessly accuse you of "folklore" - Lexus Nexus. That he didn't take 30 seconds to have some bright intern type in a quick search, and go around spouting off about how certain he is he never used that phrase, is just.. well, nutty. -- _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
