Donald Rumsfeld must not have a whole lot of faith in Americans' memories. A New York Times story last month revealed that ever since the lead-up to the Iraq war, the Pentagon had colluded with retired generals in a deliberate campaign to spread the Bush administration's policy messages on TV news shows. The article produced angry rejoinders from some congressional members, and in response,...

Buried away are some classically Rumsfeldian barbs about Ibrahim al-Jaafari, then Iraqi prime minister (“a windsock”)...
