Evidently you didn't look very far. Third paragraph:
Twice a day, he [Donald H. Rumsfeld] said, reports cross his desk detailing Taliban battlefield dead, from a half-dozen to 20 at a time.
Half dozen = 6; six times two ["twice a day"] = 12;
20 x 2 = 40
Mr. Watson, this "disparaging description about the honor and honesty of someone or some entity in their factless quest to make some point" are not my words, they are the words of Donald H. Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America.
Mr. Rumsfeld is, in my opinion, an honorable and capable public servant. I would not describe him with the disparaging remarks you just did in your post. But that is your business. More pertinently, I have no interest in any discussions with people like you who insist on personal attacks if they don't like somebody's views. That is antithetical to everything this country stands for, and everything I believe, and I will not participate further. It does, however, put you in very good company with the same irrational extremists the rational minds in this country (such as Rumsfeld) and the rest of the world are desperately trying to rid the world of: Al Qaeda is filled with and led by minds who also think it is okay to attack somebody just because you don't like what they believe.
