"We're not paranoid. Why would you say something like that?...And don't even get me going on those damn helicopters."

LOL!

I think Rumsfeld has it right, when he chose a saying by Herman Kahn as one of his favorites:

"Hire paranoids, they have a high false alarm rate, but they discover all the plots".

I hope SOL doesn't take this the wrong way (he's been a bit testy of late), but that's pretty much the way I view his analysis: Probably wrong 95% of the time, but the 5% he's right makes him a real winner and worth paying attention to.
