Rumsfeld has a love/hate relationship with many in the Pentagon press corps and a handful of whiners at the Pentagon. They have been taken to the woodshed so many times by Rummy that any minor bump in the road leads to articles like this.

As an example of press corp bi%ch-slapping, Rumsfeld told CNN's Jamie McIntyre that the answer to his question was "self-evident". Ouch!

W's poll numbers are high. There is no way they are going to undermine him until after the war, when they'll pile on, once again. Colin came in for his time as target #1, and then they caught Perle out and now it is Rummy's turn.

The enemy is just trying to divide & decimate our team; they don't care which member they attack, as long as it perceived as weakening the Administration.

I think they really believe that they can change American opinion if they just get rid of the Bush Administration. They are fools. (but we already know that)

I have received looks of pure venom from otherwise intelligent professionals when I tell them I adore Rumsfeld. They simply cannot believe it.
