Too bad they don't have 83. That last one would be a killer.

SECRET DOCUMENTS REVEAL HOW RUMSFELD IS LEADING THE WAR ON TERROR

“This is war.” With those three words to President Bush moments after the September 11 attack, Donald Rumsfeld recast decades of American policy that had once defined terrorism as a criminal matter, not as a global enemy to be identified and destroyed. Rumsfeld also established himself as Bush’s point man in the war against terrorism, insuring that this time the battle overseas would not be controlled by bureaucrats and diplomats, but fought by empowered American soldiers.

In his new book, RUMSELD'S WAR: THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICA'S ANTI-TERRORIST COMMANDER, Scarborough, veteran national security reporter for the Washington Times, reveals never- before-seen private memos, secret Pentagon reports and defense intelligence documents to take the reader inside the Rumsfeld Pentagon as he battled:

* The military bureaucracy: Rumsfeld’s never-before-seen “snowflake” memos show how he repositioned the US military, shifting focus away from the ingrained bureaucracy to empower special operations, Green Berets, SEALS, and others whose training emphasized a “can do” attitude.

* Members of the Bush Cabinet: An exclusive look behind the scenes into the struggle between Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice over control of the war on terrorism and Rumsfeld’s private battles with Secretary of State Colin Powell over the handling of “enemy combatants.”

* al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein: Rumsfeld changed the rules of fighting against terrorists, focusing on one primary goal-killing them. Rumsfeld streamlined rules of engagement allowing soldiers on the ground to act quickly on new information. Rumsfeld also moved new special operations units under the control of the Pentagon. The book reveals how one such unit, the secret Grey Fox, could turn on cell phones without the enemy knowing it, allowing the CIA Predator to use the phone signal for a missile strike.

Rumsfeld’s War contains a never-before-seen DIA report titled “A Primer on Future Threats” which details the nuclear arsenals around the world and contains chilling predictions about radical Islamic states and their nuclear programs.

What's the news here? As mentioned, that's less than expected.

I did enjoy reading the section about Rummy, though.

What's this about revealing Grey Fox, the secret device that uses enemy cell phones as homing beacons for precision munitions? Scarborough should be arrested for revealing a military secret like that.
