Rumsfeld's Questions Confuse the "Progressives"
Donald Rumsfeld's op-ed in the L.A. Times poses critical questions for our time.

These are the central questions of our time, and, as in all periods of conflict, we have no choice but to face them honestly... |
Honest answers to these questions won't be forthcoming from the party of weakness.
