Rummy's rumminess

Tom Engelhardt hosts an article by Roger Morris (in two parts, second part Thursday) exploring the life and times of Donald Rumsfeld. It is a must read, as Tom says:

If you don't understand him, you can't fully grasp the unprecedented ruin which is American foreign policy today.

I've always been interested in politics and world affairs, and I'm shocked at just how much of what Morris recounts was unknown to me, dependent as I was on the MSM. I don't know if the internet can help to save the world, but at least we'll have a better idea of why we're spiraling down the shitter.
