Rumsfeld Rules

Now that "Rummy" has been reconfirmed as Secretary of Defense (not surprisingly, since it was to be expected that the "team" becomes more & more ideologically constricted), be may try to put more of his rules into practice than he did in the past. His set of rules as published in the WSJ (subscription probably not required) are really good & surprisingly thoughtful - pity that on a rough reading he keeps breaking more than half of them: "It is easier to get into something than to get out of it."
