Been spending the morning watching Donald Rumsfeld do a linguistic limbo around the issue of torture. While Condoleeza Rice is toodling around Europe saying "we absolutely do not torture". The White house is seeking an exemption from the rules against torture for the CIA. Rumsfeld for reasons that baffle me, seems to be the point man for the press on this issue.
Cornering him in a hallway, the press was badgering the man. Rumsfeld is a man who does not like it when he's not in control of the situation. Watching him duck and weave the reporters was not unlike watching a drunk man fight with an imaginary goose.
