Foreign Policy gives us five reviews of Donald Rumfeld’s Known and Unknown. None of the five dares to tell the truth about Rumsfeld’s many crimes. Such cowardice! This is how establishments protect themselves. Yes, we learn that Rumsfeld was the “worst secretary of defense ever,” but do we learn about the lies he and the rest of the Bush Administration told to justify a war that has significantly injured the United States, not to mention Iraq—the tens of thousands of lives lost, the millions driven from their homes? And what about the “worst of the worst” in Guantanamo? And what about the general sent to Iraq to “Gitmoize” our operations there? Do we learn about the torture, the murders, and the coverups? I guess the FP folks are more concerned about dinner invitations than the truth. It’s true, the two seldom go together.
