Rumsfeld's success has been in his ability to clearly communicate and respond in a forthright manner.

Only a few in an one-on-one setting would have picked up, as fast as he did, that slip by Hillary! as she sort of rambled on.

She was unprepared by that response, and was visably shaken afterwards.

As Yogi Berra said, "You can observe a lot just by looking."

Rumsfield is indeed SMART-- but on the other hand, don't you think that he and Bush had been asking themselves "how the H***???" Lots of people want to know how the photos got out there, but the administration very intelligently never raised the question-- just waited. Strategy-- or, "strategery". ;)
