I find Rumsfeld's opening quote here interesting as I have been maintaining for months that if the media covered the gangland deaths here in Los Angeles with the fervor they've reserved for Iraq, Americans would be saying, "Oh my gosh! There's a war going on in America!"

When a publication of record such as the New York Times gets Baghdad’s October murder rates wrong by up to a factor of 28 to 1 and no correction is issued, the consequences are significant. To equate accidental deaths and U.S. soldiers killing terrorists with murders is irresponsible.

But another aspect upset many: that a country where civilians were able to freely own machine guns could have a lower murder rate than our own nation’s capital where even handguns are banned.

So...the issue is not whether something is true or not....but whether it fits with their social control mindset...

I would feel much safer in ANY city in the US if everyone carried a firearm.
