Wit and wisdom(?) of Donald Rumsfeld

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."

I met the guy and found him to be a pretty impressive intellect.

I've heard this about the man. Unfortunately, being clever doesn't guarentee good judgement. Robert McNamara's intellect was more of a liability than it was a benefit.
