WHAT'S IT LIKE TO WORK FOR RUMSFELD? I wish Don Rumsfeld had had an easier, less-centralized management style. That does not imply that Don Rumsfeld screwed up the war. It says that I--and I suspect a lot of other people--would have had a whole lot better feeling undertaking these very important matters if Don Rumsfeld had been a very concerned people person...
