You'll get no flames from me today. This is indefensible, and it is time for Rumsfeld to go. How much outrage would there be emanating from Freepers if Les Aspin, William Perry, or William Cohen had pulled this during a Clinton administration?
See my post #47.
My understanding is that everyone always got a letter signed with an autopen.
Monica Crowley mentioned on her radio show this am that it is standard practice to use an autopen. She mentioned that this has been done for years and is nothing new. Of course if one doesn't know it's been standard practice, it looks like Rumsfeld is "insensitive" . It's more piling on.
Media is going to take stuff out of context now and try to get the Repubs to eat their own since the Dems are out of power.
