Rumsfeld coverage in the New Yorker
The New Yorker piece by Seymour Hersh about Donald Rumsfeld’s role in planning the current war in Iraq is now available online.
“…Rumsfeld had two goals: to demonstrate the efficacy of precision bombing and to ‘do the war on the cheap.’ Rumsfeld and his two main deputies for war planning, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, ‘were so enamored of shock and awe that victory seemed assured,’ the planner said. ‘They believed that the weather would always be clear, that the enemy would expose itself, and so precision bombings would always work.’
