Good morning HT, Here's a great excerpt of his "no-nonsense" approach with reporters. I think Sec'y Rumsfeld is the smoothest, most competent, straight shooter we've seen in a long time. Q: Mr. Secretary, can you tell us specifically what was the target at Karam, and what do you think the U.S. hit there when it went after that target at Karam? Rumsfeld: I can't off-hand. (To General Myers) Can you? Gen. Myers: I think that the target were the caves. Rumsfeld: Oh, that's the one. Q: What did the targeters think was in the cave, and what do they think now was in the cave? Gen. Myers: I think -- I think there is still speculation. I think everybody was surprised by the length of the fire afterwards. It went on for 3-1/2 to four hours. And I think it's still speculation on exactly what that was. Rumsfeld: THEY WERE NOT COOKING COOKIES INSIDE THOSE TUNNELS. I mean, let's face it, you do not spend that kind of money, and dig that far in, and store that many weapons and munitions that it would cause that kind of sustained secondary explosions unless you have very serious purposes for doing it. And the people in the vicinity clearly were connected to those activities.
