but that doesn't mean we should abandon it in favor of emotional outbursts.
It's understandable for someone who lost her son to look for a bad guy to blame things on. And Rumsfeld is a good target. He is not a mushy guy who bites his top lip in pseudo-compassion like Clinton used to. Rumsfeld tells it like it is logically, which often comes off cruelly and coldly.
I'd still rather have a logical SecDef like Rumsfeld who I believe has done a phenomenal job so far. He has had to fight this War on Terror from a country in which nearly half of the population doesn't even want to acknowledge that there is a war. They want to hide their heads in the sand and pretend everything is fine like they did in the 1990's. Instead of fighting back, they want to ignore the enemy. Out of sight, out of mind. Until the enemy attacks again and they look for blame on why we were so vulnerable.
