I see. And here is what you claimed were Rumsfeld's alleged
sinister words that Scott & X twisted & distorted into
"absence of evidence is PROOF"...... regarding the
existence of WMD's......
<font color=blue>"The fact that the inspectors have not yet come up with new
evidence of Iraq's WMD program <font size=4>could be<font size=3> evidence, in and of
itself, of Iraq's noncooperation," Rumsfeld said. "We do
know that Iraq has designed its programs in a way that they
can proceed in an environment of inspections and that they
are skilled at denial and deception." <font color=black>

Now let's look at the Headline that CNN gave to this very
subject.....
<font size=4>Rumsfeld: Lack of evidence could mean Iraq's hiding something<font size=3>
cnn.com
Now I strongly suggest that you read the whole article to
understand the context of Rumsfeld's one comment.
Again, no matter how hard you folks try, the evidence is
clear. Scott & X twisted & distorted Rumsfeld's words, then
maliciously attacked him with their own false attributions.
There is absolutely no evidence anywhere of other similar
Rumsfeld comments. I have searched (including an extensive
Google search), you have tried in vain, & nothing has been
provided by Scott or X that has any verbatim comment by
Donald Rumsfeld that could reasonably be paraphrased into
"Absence of evidence IS PROOF of....." as Scott & X did.
There are several verbatim quotes by Rumsfeld that
include, "absence of evidence" & "not yet come up with new
evidence", yet nothing else reported anywhere that caught
the eye of any liberal journalist or even a liberal
blogger, but both Scott & X saw it. Not only that, but they
were so taken back that they had to repeatedly comment on
it, call it Orwellian, straight from Animal Farm & openly
malign Rumsfeld with these allegedly sinister words.
Meanwhile, no one anywhere in the media or even an ultra-
liberal blog, saw this alleged publicly broadcasted media
event & no one came away with the same conclusion that
Scott & X came to???? That defies credibility. We are
talking Donald Rumsfeld, who's every word in public is
scrutinized & dissected.
Until someone can point to some other verbatim quote by
Rumsfeld, made publicly that has him saying that absence
of evidence "IS PROOF" of anything relating to WMD's, I
maintain my assessment is highly accurate. Scott & X
twisted & distorted Rumsfeld's words, then maliciously
attacked & maligned him with their false attribution.
That is malicious, repugnant & arrogant. And the fact that
both of them are completely unapologetic speaks volumes
about their lack of character & lack of credibility. |
