Second Rumsfeld Memo Leaked to Media
2003-10-23
From Scrappleface:


(2003-10-23) -- A second memo written by U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to his top deputies was leaked to the news media today by a "very senior Defense Department official".

Here is the entire text of the memo:

TO: Gen. Dick Myers
Paul Wolfowitz
Gen. Pete Pace
Doug Feith

FROM: Donald Rumsfeld

SUBJECT: Loyalty and Trust in DoD

October 22, 2003

My private memo of October 16, 2003 to the four of you showed up in the news headlines.

You’re all fired.

Leak this!

Thanks.

#3  I think Rummy did a good job leaking his own memo.
Now he has four subordinates who are so focused on their own loyalty they will pretty much agree to whatever Rummy tells them. One cat, four pigeons.

#2  Anyone who has ever been in business, run and organization, been part of a group (even a media company, newspaper, television station, etc.)or a political party knows that this memo is SOP for CEO types to think out-loud and bring some of their thoughts (streams of consciousness) to the second tier managers. But not a politician or anyone with an axe to grind - like Kerry and his band of elves or that idiot from South Dakota that makes me wonder about too much inbreeding up there.

#1  LOL! Somebody screwed up. It can't be that hard to pin-point this one. If not, then we shouldn't be all that surprised that they can't find OBL.
