Hallelujah, One Less Criminal Mastermind on the Payroll in the Pentagon

And the ever eloquent Rumsfeld offered CNN this on the cancellation on the futures market that the now-(again)-resigning Poindexter had proposed:

"It was pretty clear to me it ought to have been canceled, so I did so," Rumsfeld told reporters on Wednesday. "Even if it had been a brilliant idea, which I doubt, it would not have been able to function in the environment that it was created."

He's not sure, in other words, it might have been a brilliant idea.

And yet,

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, said Thursday Poindexter's decision to resign "was probably a wise one."

But then again, he implies, maybe not. Maybe he should have stayed and proposed some even more maybe brilliant ideas.

There is a special place in hell for these people, I have to hope.
