Tom Engelhardt writes: "Last week, someone slipped New York Times reporters Michael R. Gordon and David S. Cloud the secret memo finished by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld just two days before he 'resigned.' It was the last in a flurry of famed Rumsfeldian 'snowflakes' that have fluttered down upon the Pentagon these past years. This one, though, was 'submitted' to the White House and clearly meant for the president's eyes. In it, the Secretary of Defense offered a veritable laundry list of possible policy adjustments in Iraq, adding up to what, according to Gordon and Cloud, is both an acknowledgement of failure and 'a major course correction.'"
