These pics happened before this incident IIRC.
In some ways I admire Rummy, being that teflon coated isn't easy, particularly when you're that arrogant and that single minded. I always enjoy watching the live press conferences with him, he's one of the slickest guys I've seen when it comes to not only fending off questions but taking them, twisting them baloon-animal style and shoving them down the throat of the poor reporter. That takes skill.
On the flipside he fucked up in Iraq, badly.
I find the way they're trying to control troops with cameras and internet access now interesting if expected, embedding reporters was a masterstroke in media control but they didn't see this one coming.
