Well, at least you two didn't bring up swastika's in your
little demonizationfest over a distorted quote falsely
attributed out of context to Rumsfield. You said.....
"Isn't that Rumsfeld's line? Absense of evidence is proof....
&
"Yes, when I heard Rumsfeld spewing that, all I could think
of was George Orwell. Absence of evidence is proof.... that
could have come right from 'Animal Farm.'"
& X the Unknown replied to your distorted attribution....
"you are so right"
Plus she also said herself....
"Absence of evidence is proof? That's an interesting line to
take. I hope that never shows up in American courts. With
that kind of logic all the innocent could be sent to
prison."
BTW Scott & X, you could at least quote Rumsfeld
accurately, then draw reasonable conclusions. However, I
can see why so many of you folks have no problems doing
exactly what the media has been doing to the Bush
Administration. Your hate for the Bush Administration runs
so deep that you won't even bother to check facts before
you project your bias onto someone (like Rumsfeld). You're
so convinced the man is evil that you & X matter of factly
projected utter bullshit onto Rumsfeld & glibly demonized
him as though it was all true & accurate.
Hell, both of you two began this sci-fi odyssey by
delibrately misquoting jlallen before you demonized him. He
essentially said that absence of proof is evidence that the
Bush Administration didn't lie & that they believed in
their intelligence on WMD's (the smoking gun being the
missing proof - there exists substantial evidence, just no
clear, irrefutable smoking gun type of proof).
And before you argue the existance of WMD evidence, jlallen
certainly believes this to be fact. So yes, you also
distorted jlallen's words, demonized him, then moved on to
falsely attribute words to Rumsfeld, then demonized him too.
It's no wonder that when the media distorts the words of
Bush, Rumsfeld, etc., or tells outright lies about them,
you take it as gospel.
And I doubt you will admit how absolutely spot on I am
about what you two have just done to Rumsfeld & jlallen
either.
Here's precisely what Rumsfeld actually said regarding the
search for WMD's thus far......
'' Rumsfeld said Tuesday. ``But as we all know, the absence
of evidence is not evidence of absence.''

"But, as we all know," he <Rumsfeld> added, "the absence of
evidence is not evidence of absence."

In his <Rumsfeld's> words: "The absence of evidence is not
evidence of absence."
