I apologize, I misspoke in a technical way and I realize that this could be construed as baiting, that is not good and not what I wanted to do. The story was centered around Rumsfeld. My discovery of a problem (to my senses) within that story that was not centered around Rumsfeld, he was just involved in what I think is not something one can blame him for in a legal way. It can be argued to be tangential to him which I think is fair.

The problem I discovered is still something I don't think is wise to talk about because it gets into core belief systems which I don't have an axe to grind about other than when it is inappropriate to inject that core belief system into a government job duty.

This happened in a military context which is why it alarmed me. This stuff can be viewed as me being overly sensitive but I have sensibilities about government and military conduct that have a high bar because in my view government must be absolutely professional, in particular the military. When it fails that, it is a serious problem in my view.

In summary I had my trigger tripped on a nuance which eventually cascaded to a total rebuke of government. However it was a very long time in building.

As for Rumsfeld, we will probably never know what he is really culpable for unless we get a sort of time machine that can peer backwards..
