Thanks for the flawed... well everything.

Other than feeling for his family, i don't feel much. I wish that Rumsfield had learned something from him, but i guess maybe he did, it just wasn't anything good.

Actually the picture looks more like Farrakhan than Jackson, It's probably because Louie still dresses like it's 1961?

The second-worst SecDef passes on. I wonder whether Rumsfeld will come to harbor any comparable regrets.

The Fog of War is probably the best documentary I have ever seen. Absolute fantastic and it made me wish I had of met Mr. McNamara before he died. May he rest in peace.
